rusak2 [61]

Step-by-step explanation:

The cylinder is a closed figure which consists of two circular ends. If r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder, then its surface area is given by :

$A=2\pi rh$

$A=2\pi \times r\times h$

We also know that, surface area = perimeter×height

So, the surface area of the cylinder is the product of circumference of the circle and height of the cylinder.

A bag holds 12 red marbles, 11 green

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

62.22%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many total marbles there are:

12 + 11 + 17 + 5

= 45

Then, find how many marbles that are not blue:

12 + 11 + 5

= 28

Then, divide 28 by 45, and multiply by 100

(28/45) x 100

= 62.22% is the probability of not choosing a blue marble
