    1st you need equation for the surface area of a sphere which is:

    A=4*π*r^2

    Where r=radius

    r = diameter/2 or d/2

    So

    area of a sphere = 4*π * (d/2) ^2

    Plug in the area given

    1041 = 4*π * (d/2) ^2

    Solve for d

    1041 / (4 * π) = 82.84

    82.84 = (d/2) ^2

    Sqrt (82.84) = d/2

    9.10=d/2

    9.10*2 = d

    18.2=d

    So the answer is 18.2 in
