Answer :

we know that

The circumference is

70.000 ± 0.500

so

C=70.500 or C=69.500

step 1

Find out the radius of the sphere

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

For C=70.500

[tex]\begin{gathered} 70.500=2\pi r \\ r=\frac{70.500}{2\pi} \\ r=11.220 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For C=70.000

[tex]\begin{gathered} 70.000=2\pi r \\ r=\frac{70.000}{2\pi} \\ \\ r=11.141 \end{gathered}[/tex]

step 2

Find out the surface area

For r=11.220

[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=4\pi r^2 \\ SA=4\pi(\frac{70.50}{2\pi})^2 \\ SA=1,582.882 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For r=11.141

[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=4\pi(\frac{70.000}{2\pi})^2 \\ SA=1,560.510 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The maximum error is given by the difference

1,582.882-1,560.510=22.372
