Circumference =
\[\pi \times d\] where d is the diameter of a circle.
In this case the diameter is the radius multiplied by two.

The lateral area is found by multiplying the circumference by the height. Can you do that and post your result?

Answer 4

39.4

Answer 5

The circumference is 12.56 inches and the height is 5 inches.
12.56 * 5 = 62.8 square inches
