Question

What is the lateral surface area of this cylinder? r = 7ft h = 16ft

Answer 1

Answer:

703.36 sq ft

The lateral area is the product of the circumference and the height.

LA = 2π·r·h = 2·3.14·(7 ft)(16 ft) = 703.36 ft²

Comment on the answer choices

Please note this is not the actual area, which rounds to 703.72 ft². The above value is obtained only by using an inappropriate value for π. The 5-significant-digit answer is not supported by a 3-significant-digit value for π. More appropriate would be π≈3.1416.
