Answer 1

Question:-

A cylinder shaped water pitcher has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 12.5 inches. Find the surface area of the pitcher.

Answer:-

Given:-

$\bullet$ Radius (r) of a cylinder shaped water pitcher = 5 inches.

$\bullet$ Height (h) of a cylinder shaped water pitcher = 12.5 inches.

To Find:-

The surface area of the pitcher.

Solution:-

We know,

Formula of Surface area of a cylinder is 2πr(r + h) sq. units.

So,

Surface area of the pitcher = 2 × 3.14 × 5(5 + 12.5)

Surface area of the pitcher = 31.4 × 17.5

Surface area of the pitcher = 549.5 in²

$\therefore$ The surface area of the pitcher is 549.5 in².

Hence, the option (C) 549.5 in² is correct. [Answer]
