Examples:
Surface Area
What is the surface area of a sphere with radius 5?
 leave it in the terms of π.
SA: 4πr²
4π5²
4π25
100πunits²

Volume:
What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 8ft?
4πr^3 /3
4π8^3/3
4π512/3
2048π/3
=682.67πft^3 or 2143.6 ft ^3

Try it yourself!
Find the volume and surface area of 7in?
