Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Shane could drive due north to get to his parents' house or he could drive due east to get to his grandparents' house.

It is 8 miles from Shane's house to his parents' house and a straight-line distance of 17 miles from his parents' house to his grandparents' house.

It can be calculated by considering a right angled triangle. Using pythagoras theorem, we can find the distance between Shane from his grandparents' house. Let it is d.

d^2=\sqrt{17^2-8^2} \\\\=15\ \text{miles}

Hence, Shane is 15 miles from his grandparents' house.

To solve this problem you must apply the fomrula for calculate the area of a cylinder, which is shown below:
 A=2πrh+2πr^2
 Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder
 You have that r=15.1 inches and h=12.8 inches, then:
 A=2πrh+2r^2
 A=2π(15.1 in)(12.8 in)+2π(15.1 in)^2 
 A=2647 in^2
 The answer is 2647 in^2
