the radius of a softball is almost 2 inches. The radius of a basketball is almost 5 inches How would the surface area of a basketball compare to the surface area of a softball

Softball
S = 4πr²
S = 4(3.14)(2)²
S = 4(3.14)(4)
S = 4(12.56)
S = 50.24in²

Basketball
S = 4πr²
S = 4(3.14)(5)²
S = 4(3.14)(25)
S = 4(78.5)
S = 314in²

The surface area of a basketball won't be compared to a softball because a basketball is greater than a softball.
