1017.88 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere is given by ...

... A = πd²

... ≈ 3.141593×(18 cm)² ≈ 1017.88 cm²

Comment on the answer choices

The problem says to "round your answer to the nearest hundredth", yet none of the answer choices show any hundredths. Thus according to the problem statement, none of the choices is correct.

1017 is only a viable choice if you use 3.14 for π. When the answer has 4 significant digits (and is supposed to have 6 significant digits), you know it is in error if you only use a 3-digit value for pi. Even the "right" answer is wrong.

correct
