<h3>
Answer: 282.6 square units</h3>
====================================================
Work Shown:
r = 3 is the radius of the circular base
h = 12 is the height of the cylinder
pi = 3.14 approximately
SA = surface area of the cylinder
SA = 2pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*h
SA = 2*3.14*3^2 + 2*3.14*3*12
SA = 282.6
0.5a - 0.3 = 5
Add 0.3 to both sides:
0.5a = 5.3
Divide both sides by 0.5:
a = 10.6
f is given as -3
-3 is greater than -4, so use the second equation 3x-5.
replace x with -3 and calculate:
3(-3) - 5 = -9 - 5 = -14
The answer is -14.
