So confused... help again?
Andre made a wax model of a rolling pin of diameter 4 cm. The rolling pin was shaped like a right circular cylinder with a right circular cone at each end as shown below. What was the total surface area of the rolling pin? Using complete sentences, describe the steps you used to calculate the surface area.
(wait, I'll give a picture then my answer)
My answer: SA = 2(pi)r*h SA = 2(3.14)(2)(13) SA = 163.28 SA = (pi)r*l SA = (3.14)(2)(7) SA = 43.96 SA = 2(pi)r*h + 2(pi)r*l = 2(pi)r(h+l) SA = 2(3.14)(2)(13) + 2(3.14)(2)(13+7) SA = 163.28 + 251.2 = Total surface area = 414.48
ok one sec
@Hoa or @Directrix ?
okay @jim_thompson5910 :)
This is the lateral surface area of the cylinder in the middle SA = 2(pi)r*h SA = 2(3.14)(2)(13) SA = 163.28 and this is correct
The lateral surface area of each cone on the endpoint is SA = pi*r*s ... Note: s is the slant height of the cone SA = 3.14*2*7 SA = 43.96
There are 2 such cones with the same lateral surface area, so the combined lateral surface area of the cones is 43.96+43.96 = 87.92
Total Surface Area = (Lateral Surface Area of Cylinder) + (Lateral Surface Area of Cones) Total Surface Area = (163.28) + (87.92) Total Surface Area = 251.2
WOW! I was so off!! Lol. Thank you so much for explaining :)
you're welcome
Have a wonderful day! :)
you too
