Answer:

1/6 squared feet or 0.17 squared feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a paper, we assume it is a rectangle.

Use the formula for area of a rectangle. A= lw

l is the length and w is the width.

The width is 2/3 feet and the length is 1/4 feet.

Substitute w = 2/3 and l=1/4 into the equation for area of a rectangle.

A = lw

A = (1/4)(2/3) Multiply both numerators, then both denominators

A = 2/12 Simplify. Top and bottom are divisible by 2

A = 1/6

A ≈ 0.17 Rounded to two decimal places

When you multiply two numbers with units, the answer's unit becomes the squared unit.

Therefore the area of her paper is 1/6 squared feet, or 0.17 squared feet.

Gelneren [198K]

The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula

$\begin{gathered} A_{cylinder}=2circular\text{ area+curved surface area} \\ =2\pi r^2+2\pi rh \end{gathered}$

Given diameter, d=12meters, we will solve for radius

$\begin{gathered} \text{diameter,d}=2\times radius,r \\ d=2r \\ r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{12m}{2} \\ r=6m \end{gathered}$

The height is given as 9meters

Substituting for r and h in the formula will give

$\begin{gathered} A_{cylinder}=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh \\ r=6m;h=9m;\pi=3.14 \\ A_{cylinder}=2\times3.14\times6^2+2\times3.14\times6\times9_{} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} A_{cylinder}=6.28\times36+6.28\times54 \\ =226.08+339.12 \\ =565.2m^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence the surface area of the cylinder is 565.2m²
