A) The formula for surface area of a sphere is A = 4*PI*r^2

using 3.14 for PI:

Surface area for Earth = 4 * 3.14 x 3960^2 = 196,960,896 miles^2

Surface area of the moon: 4 * 3.14 * 1080^2 = 14,649,984 miles^2

B)Divide the Surface of the Earth by the moon:

196,960,896 / 14,649,984 = 13.44

The Earths surface is 13.4 times larger than the moon.

C) Multiply the surface of the Earth by 70%:

196,960,896 * 0.70 = 137,872,627.2 million square miles of water.
