Answer

Solving the equation gives \(4 \pi \times 9 = \boxed{36 \pi}\) square meters.

Steps

Step 1 :The formula for the surface area of a sphere is \(4 \pi r^2\) where r is the radius of the sphere.

Step 2 :Substituting the given radius into the formula, we get \(4 \pi (3)^2\).

Step 3 :Solving the equation gives \(4 \pi \times 9 = \boxed{36 \pi}\) square meters.
