Help, finding the perimeter of a circle.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Perimeter = Circumference = \(\large 2 \pi r\)

|dw:1373135826651:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2 pi 6.6

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

...thats a cylinder, no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess thats what its called. oops

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm is it like this ? |dw:1373136165512:dw|

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So you're looking for surface area of a cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to find the perimeter of the cylinder.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\large SA = 2 \pi r^2 +2 \pi rh\]Which basically gives you the "perimeter" or ciircumference of the base, the circle,and the "perimeter" of the rectangular side.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

total surface area of a cylinder = \(\large 2\pi r h (h+r)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2pi x 6.6 x 3.2 (3.2 x 6.6) Do i multiply like that?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, the parenthesized term is addition, but yes

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Now that we've got our formula, we're given \(h = 3.2\) and \(r=6.6\). We plug these into our formula \[\large SA = 2 \pi (6.6)^2 + 2 \pi (6.6)(3.2)\]

i got 406.396 as my answer.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

good job :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Unless you're specified to round it up...or anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says that wasnt the right answer tho. :/ i got it wrong.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Really? hmm..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait..it says to find the lateral area.. Did i do something wrong here?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I get 1300.46 :/

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the lateral area will EXCLUDE the circular top and bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What the heck.. lol none of the answers i got here are even correct. o.O

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Oh lateral area? hmm..

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

heheh

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

can you show a picture of the material?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

|dw:1373136530793:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wonder what its asking for then.. D: Sure. ill try to take a screen cap.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gimme a sec..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.132.70 units squared B.136.85 C.273.70 D.406.40

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large 2 \pi r \times h\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yes ^

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Why were you asking for perimeter of a cylinder when it's asking for lateral area? xD It's completely different.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I picked D and got tht wrong. :/ So, 2 pi times 6.6 times 3.2 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought thats what it wanted. @.@

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But i guess i was wrong. x(

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

132.7

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\large LA = 2 \pi r h = 2\pi (6.6)(3.2) = \ ?\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I also, am getting 132.7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 132.7u units squared.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its right!(: thx again guys!

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

A.132.70 units squared B.136.85 C.273.70 D.406.40

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

good job.
