If a sphere of radius r divided 8 equal part find the total surface area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You did not provide the description on how the sphere was divided in 8 equal parts. 

Probably, it was made by using four planes that all contain the common diameter of the sphere.

Then the total area of these 8 pieces is equal to the surface area of the sphere plus the area of 8 semi-circles 
of the same radius, i.e.


 +  = .


It is doubled area of the surface area of the sphere.
