Answer:

2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the formula for percentage change (Mathisfun)

\displaystyle \rm \text{Percentage Change} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%.

Note that the old value shall be the one on the denominator.

For this question:

\displaystyle \rm \begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Change} &= \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Old Value}}{\text{Old Value}}\times 100\%\\ &= \frac{8.75 - 8.54}{8.75}\times 100\%\\&= -2.4\%\end{aligned}.

The value here is negative, but don't be alerted. A positive value of change indicates an increase, while a negative value of change indicates a decrease. In other words, the stock price dropped by 2.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh

(where r is the radius and h is the height)

Given:

  • r = 1.2 mm
  • h = 2 mm

Substitute given values into the formula:

⇒ Lateral surface area = 2π(1.2)(2)
