Find the surface area of the figure. Help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (raden):

|dw:1369854402645:dw| use the formula : surface area (SA) = base area + up area + lateral area SA = pi * R^2 + pi * r^2 + pi(R + r)s with R = radius of base circle r = radius of up circle s = the length of aphotem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 10 is the apothem?

OpenStudy (raden):

according your diagram : R = 1/2 * 12 = 6 r = 1/2 * 9 = 4.5 s = 10 now, apply that values to formula above

OpenStudy (raden):

yes, aphotem (s) = 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is the answer 506.5818154

OpenStudy (raden):

and actually, pi = 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i use 3.14 when i plug it in my calculator, not the pi button?

OpenStudy (raden):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So my answer is 506.325

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 506.3
