Question

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the surface area of the cylinder

Answer 1

To work out the surface are you do :

SA= 2 π r h + 2 π r squared

Answer 2

Hello!

To find the surface area of a cylinder you use the equation

$2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^{2}$

You plug in the radius and the height

$2 \pi (6)(15) + 2 \pi (15)^{2}$

when you put this into a calculator you get

Surface area is about 791.68in squared

The answer is 791.68in squared

Hope this helps!
