Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

S = 4*pi*r^2 

delta S = 8*pi*r delta r = 8*pi*76*0.5 = 955 cm^2 

relative error = dela S/S = 8 pi*r*deltar / (4*pi*r^2) =  2delta r/r = 1/76 = 0.013

b) V= 4/3 pi*r^3

dV = 4pir^2 dr  = 4*pi*76^2 *0.5 = 36292

relative error = 4pi r^2 dr / (4/3*pir^3) = 3dr/r = 1.5/76 =  0.020 

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
