the diameter of a beach ball is about 11 times the diameter of a tennis ball. The surface area of the tennis ball is approximately 20 sq. inches. what is the approximate surface area of the beach ball?
---------------
Area is a function of the square of the dimensions.
11 times the diameter --> 121 times the surface area (11^2).
20*121 = 2420 sq inches.
