Today in class, we completed an experiment on the surface area of a sphere. We used an orange in order to complete this task because of its sphere like shape, we began by cutting the orange in halves near the center of the orange to make the circumferences more accurate. Once finished that we were told to trace the circumference of the oranges onto the piece of paper. As we were tracing, we were also peeling our orange peels to fit into the circles which can determine the area of the surface. We tried to not go over the lines or to show any white to have a specific answer.
When we finished the procedure we ended up with 4 filled circles. The area of one circle is π
