A sphere has a surface area equal to <strong>4\u03c0r<sup>2<\/sup><\/strong> square units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Surface area of sphere = 4\u03c0r2<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be using the above formula in our program to find the surface area of a sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado, let\u2019s begin this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"
