Well the diameter of a circle is 2 *pi * radius
If you multiply that by the height of the cylinder that should give you the answer!

so 69.08?

anonymous · Answer

Should be a bit more than that,$$2 \times r \times \pi \times h$$We know that r=6 and that h=11

anonymous · Answer

Oh Okay! So 414.48?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah that would be right, but I misread the question and r = 8

anonymous · Answer

Ok thank you! i got it now.
