Answer 101049 by checkley77(12569) About Me  on 2008-04-24 15:51:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4PIR^2 IS THE TOTAL SURFACE AREA OF A SPHERE.
14,650,000=4*3.14*R^2
14,650,000=12.56R^2
R^2=14,650,000/12.56
R^2=1,166,401.2
R=SQRT(1,166,401.2)
R=1,080 MILES IS THE RADIUS.

C) IS THE ONLY SOLUTION.
X+(X+6)=78
2X+6=78
2X=78-6
2X=72
X=72/2
X=36 FOR THE FIRST NUMBER
46=6=42 FOR TE OTHER NUMBER.
PROOF
36+42=78
78=78
