Question 976132: A spherical weather balloon is being inflated. The radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. Express the surface area of the balloon as a function of time t (in seconds). If needed you can enter \pi as pi. Recall surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2 .
I tried and i believe i am missing a very important step
