This should help:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i can never recall the pi rs and tend to have to reinvent it each time :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still didn't get the right answer. i dont understand what im doing wrong.

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Did u find the length of the slant side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. im not completely sure on how to do that.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

\[a^2+b^2=c^2\] Live by it !

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Therefore \[s=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 25. Is that correct?

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Not quite:\[s=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}=5\]

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Nw substitute the value of s and r in \(\pi rs+\pi r^2\) to find the surface area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you! i believe i got it now.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Great :) Good luck!
