Find the surface area of the Cylinder in terms of PI.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about you try \[2 \pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\] first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[D= 2r\]So \[r= D/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont have a calculator i left it at my dads house :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I needs someone to solve and walk me through it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since it says leave in terms of π, you don't need a calculator :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok well at least can you set up the answer using the formula first? It's plugging in values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then what do i multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2πr^2+2πrh\] h= height r= radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still dont get it.. . . :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok you are given the diameter as 14cm, so your radius will be half of that. 14/2= 7cm. You are also given a height of 18cm, so you just have to plug in these two values into the formula for surface area, which I gave you. So it will be \[2 \pi \times (7)^2 cm^2 + 2 \pi \times 7 \times 18 cm^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need a calculator to solve it and i dont have one...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer will be in terms of \[\pi\] so you don't really need a calculator. \[2 \pi \times (7)^2 = 2 \pi \times 49 = 98 \pi \] I'm sure you can do the other part. Then just add them together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 644picm^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

350picm^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that's correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem.
