To solve the problem above, we will be using the equation in solving the surface area of a cylinder which goes. A = 2pi r^2 + 2pi r h, A is for the surface area, pi is 3.1416; h is the height and r is the radius. Basing on this formula the radius will be 0.3982 ft both top and bottom.
That will be a line passing through the center and perpendicular to, a line joining the 2 points.
15. If a+b=6 and ab=9 that means a and b must each equal 3. Then plug it into the equation and solve. (3)3+(3)2 = 15
