PLEASE help me with this question!! I really need help!

Answer:
324π in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a sphere = 4πr² ( r is the radius )
Calculate r using the volume (V) formula
V = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]πr³
Here V = 972π , thus
[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]πr³ = 972π ( divide both sides by π )
[tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]r³ = 972 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )
4r³ = 2916 ( divide both sides by 4 )
r³ = 729 ( take the cube root of both sides )
r = [tex]\sqrt[3]{729}[/tex] = 9
Thus
surface area = 4π × 9² = 4π × 81 = 324π in²
