    The diameter can be obtained by the formula A = pi*r^2

    First, multiply 0.50 * 100 to obtain the area of the ball, then simplify and solve for the radius. Doubling the radius would yield the diameter. This is shown below:

    Area of the ball = 0.50 * 100 = 50 in^2

    A = pi*r^2

    50 = (3.14) * r^2

    r = 3.99 = approx. 4

    diameter = 2r

    Diameter = 8 inches.

    Among the choices, the correct answer is C. 8.0 in.
