We now have three equations, so we can solve them.

Let's define the length of the 3 boards in terms of x:

F=x

S=2x-3

T=2

F+S+T =26

x+2x-3+2 =26

3x =26+1=27

x =27/3 = 9 feet for First section

2x-3 =18-3 = 16 feet = Second

2 = Third

9+16+2 = 27

27 is the length of the shortest piece.

Find the total surface area.
Ede4ka [16]

Hey love! <3

Answer:

The right answer is A = 49.6 π ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>(Let pi = 3.1415926535898)</u></em>

<em>The formula for calculating the surface area of a cylinder is A=2πrh+2πr^2</em>

<em>So if r = 4 ft</em>

<em>and h = 2.2 ft</em>

<em>A= 2π(4)(2.2)+2π(4)^2</em>

<em>Once we've plugged in our formulas our final surface area is A =</em><em> 49.6 π ft2</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helped you calculate the surface area! ◃┆◉◡◉┆▷ Sincerely, Kelsey from Brainly.</em>
