Question

Find the surface area of a cylinder with height of 8 feet and base diameter of 6 feet

Answer 1

The answer is A≈207.35ft²

Answer 2

Answer:

$66\pi$ ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle surrounding the cylinder.

Since the base diameter is 6 feet, the circumference $=\pi d=6\pi$.

Since the height is 8 feet, the area of the rectangle is $6\pi\times8$ or $48\pi$

Now the area of the base circle $=\pi r^2 = \pi\times\frac{1}{4}d^2=9\pi$

There are 2 base circles, so $9\pi\times2=18\pi$

Surface area = $18\pi+48\pi=66\pi$ ft²
