Question

What is the surface area of the cylinder shown? Use 3.14 for pie. 4cm for the Radius, and 9cm for the height.

Answer 1

Answer:  326.56 square cm

==============================================

Work Shown:

SA = 2*pi*r^2 + 2*pi*r*h

SA = 2*3.14*(4)^2 + 2*3.14*4*9

SA = 326.56

Notes:

• The answer is approximate. Use more decimal digits of pi to get a more accurate answer (though it will never be exact unless you leave it in terms of pi).
• The portion 2pi*r^2 is the fact we have two circular bases with area of pi*r^2 each.
• The portion 2*pi*r*h is the lateral area, or the area around the curved side. If you unfold this portion, as you would maybe a label on a soup can, it has base of 2*pi*r and height h. The base 2pi*r is the circumference of the circle of radius r.

Answer 2

Answer:

$326.56cm {}^{2}$
