Answer:
Kai is right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute Value is always positive.
Surface area of cylinder is given by area of circle + area of the rectangle that curved around the cylinder
Area of the base of the cylinder =

Area of the cylinder 'wall' = width × length =

×

=

×

=

Note that the wall of the cylinder is in the shape of a rectangle. The width of the rectangle is the height of the cylinder. The length of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle base.
Surface area of cone is given by

where

is the slanted height of the cone
SA of cone =

Hence total painted surface area is
4 1/2 = 9/2
8 1/4 = 33/4
1/3 x 9/2 = 3/2
1/3 x 33/4 = 33/12
<span>The proportion of clay uses is 3/8 (Three Eighths). That is 3 lbs. of clay to every 8 vases. This is determined by the first given proportion 3 lbs./8 vases and confirmed by the second. To prove that is the case you divide the second ration by the first numerator:
9 divided by 3 = 3 and 24 divided by 3 = 8. So the proportion for 9/24 is still 3/8. This can also be used to increase the number of vases made. For example if 40 vases need to be made:
we divide 40 by the numerator 8 = 5. So we need 5 portions of 3 to make 40 vases. 5 times 3 = 15. So the 15 lbs. of clay is needed for 40 vases.</span>
