The Moon has a surface area of approximately 14650000 miles squared. Estimate its radius to the nearest mile. What is the radius?

We know that the formula for the surface area of the
sphere is given by :

SA = 4r^2 * pi such that r is the
radius.

Given that SA = 14,650,000
miles^2

We need to find the
radius.

==> We will substitute into the
equation.

==> 14,650,000 = 4r^2 *
pi

Now we will divide by
4pi.

==> r^2 = 14,650,000/ 4pi =
1165809.9581

Now we will take the square
root.

==> r= 1079.72 = 1080 miles (
approx.)

Then the radius of the moon to the
nearest mile is 1080 miles.
