Answer:
<u>9π m²</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
We will need calculate the area of the top, the base and sides.
Area of the top=πr²
Area of the base=πr²
Area of the side: 2πrh
Surface area of a cylinder: area of the top + area of the base +area of the side
Surface area of a cylinder=πr²+πr²+2πrh=2πr²+2πrh=2πr(r+h)
Data:
r=1.5 m
h=1.5 m
Surface area of this cylinder=2π(1.5m)(1.5 m+1.5 m)=3π m*(3 m)=9π m².
So we are looking for the GCF which is the largest factor that the two numbers have in common, so you would want to circle all of the number that the two have in common. So it would be 2 twos and 2 X's (2,2,x,x). Which is the most numbers that the two have in common.
There are numerous ways you can do this, but take a look at the attachment to see how I did it. I hope it answers your question! :)
