Answer:

144 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To do solve this question, we must find the LCM (least common multiple) of 12, 16, and 18.

Let's start by prime factorizing (finding the prime factors) all the numbers.

12\rightarrow3*4\rightarrow2*2*3

16\rightarrow4*4\rightarrow2*2*2*2

18\rightarrow2*9\rightarrow2*3*3

Now, we must find the greatest quantity of each [prime] number and multiply them together to obtain the least common multiple.

Upon further evaluation of the [prime] factors, we can see that we need four 2s and two 3s. Therefore...

2*2*2*2*3*3=2^4*3^2=16*9=144

They will be fired together again after 144 seconds.

Find the surface area S of the following cylinder.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

384π

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

Diameter ( d ) = 16

Height ( h ) = 16

To find : Surface area of Cylinder = ?

Radius ( r ) = ?

Formula : -

r = d / 2

r = 16 / 2

r = 8

Formula : -

Surface area of Cylinder = 2πr ( r + h )

Surface area of Cylinder = 2πr ( r + h )

= 2π x 8 ( 8 + 16 )

= 16π x 24

Surface area of Cylinder = 384π
