Question

What is the total surface area of a cylinder with a diameter of 10.8 and a height of 2.6?

Answer 1

Answer:

271.433606 (in, cm, or whichever unit)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the areas of the ends of the cylinder, the circles, you would use the formula:

2(π * r²)

The diameter is twice the length of the radius so to find the radius, you would divide the length of the diameter in half. So with a diameter of 10.8 units, it would become 5.4 units.

2(π * 5.4²) = 183.217684

To find the surface area of the rectangle of the cylinder, you would multiply the circumference of the base of the cylinder by the height. The formula to find the circumference is 2πr. The circumference would be 33.9292007 units. 33.9292007 * 2.6 = 88.2159218.

Then add the areas to find the total.

183.217684 + 88.2159218 = 271.433606
