Answer:
The height of the right circular cylinder is 4.55 inches ⇒ b
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the surface area of a right circular cylinder is
S.A = 2πrh + 2πr², where
∵ The surface area of a right circular cylinder is 300 square inches
∴ S.A = 300 in.²
∵ Its radius is 5 inches
∴ r = 5 in.
∵ π = 3.14
→ Substitute them in the rule above
∵ 300 = 2(3.14)(5)(h) + 2(3.14)(5)²
∴ 300 = 31.4h + 157
→ Subtract 157 from both sides
∵ 300 - 157 = 31.4h + 157 - 157
∴ 143 = 31.4h
→ Divide both sides by 31.4
∵ 4.554140127 = h
∴ 4.55 = h
∴ The height of the right circular cylinder is 4.55 inches
