Answer:
the surface area of a penny = 662.81 mm²
Step-by-step explanation:
given:
A penny is a cylinder with a diameter of 19.05 millimeters
and a thickness of 1.55 millimeters.
find:
what is the surface area of a penny?
<u>surface area of a cylinder formula:</u>
As = 2 π r h + 2 π r²
let r = 19.05 / 2
r = 9.53 mm
let h = 1.55mm
plugin values into the formula:
As = 2 π (9.53) 1.55 + 2 π (9.53)²
As = 92.76 + 570.05
As = 662.81 mm²
therefore,
the surface area of a penny = 662.81 mm²
