Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

√42 cm

Solution :

To find the radius of the spherical box, we start by using the formula for the surface area of a sphere:

A = 4 π r 2

where A is the surface area and r is the radius.

Given that the surface area is 528 cm2, we can substitute this value into the equation. We also use the standard approximation for pi:
π 22 7

Substituting these values, we get:
528 = 4 × 22 7 × r 2

Simplify the multiplication on the right-hand side:
528 = 88 7 × r 2

To solve for r2, multiply both sides by 7 and divide by 88:
r 2 = 528 × 7 88

First, calculate the division:
528 88 = 6

Now multiply by 7:
r 2 = 6 × 7
r 2 = 42

Taking the square root of both sides to find the radius r:
r = 42 cm

Therefore, the correct option is √42 cm.
