Which of the following is the surface area of the right cylinder below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

(h is the height of the cylinder, r is the radius of the top) Surface Area = Areas of top and bottom +Area of the side Surface Area = 2(Area of top) + (perimeter of top)* height Surface Area = 2(pi r 2) + (2 pi r)* h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the formula I'm using, and my answer isn't a choice.

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

OK LET ME TRY

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. :)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

What answer did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I keep getting 622.02 like no matter what.

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

let me redo it again because i dont get that.. hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty.

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

did u get that for that part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did.

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

|dw:1374439461734:dw|

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

and this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I did.

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

|dw:1374439605520:dw|

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

and this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, I did. Haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The only answer even close to that is 169

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

ok then 169.646*2=339.291

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

the closest is 169 but thats 500 something which is way off

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

you need to try and ask the person who gave you this, if there is an error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see my teacher until tomorrow, but I'll ask her. Thank you so much for trying though. :)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

your welcome. good luck and sorry :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, no! Don't be sorry. Haha. :)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

waittttt omg i think that 2(pi r 2) is suppose to be 2(pi r^2)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

nope that doesnt work....

zepdrix (zepdrix):

The area of the cylindrical wall, \[\large A=Ch\] \[\large A=(2\pi r)(h) \qquad=\qquad (2\pi\cdot9)(2) \qquad=\qquad 36\pi\] The area of the round surface on top,\[\large A=\pi r^2 \qquad=\qquad \pi 9^2 \qquad=\qquad 81\pi\] We have two of these round surfaces,\[\large 2\cdot 81\pi \qquad=\qquad 162\pi\] So our total area is,\[\large 36\pi+162\pi \qquad=\qquad 198\pi\] 622? Woops you were multiplying out the Pi lol :)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

try this it gives you 622.035 2πr²+h2πr = 2πr(r+h) so try 2πr(r+h)

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

@zepdrix is right!!!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Silly mistake, hehe. Happens to all of us XD

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

i got that formula from http://www.math.com/tables/geometry/surfareas.htm and am not sure where apexwhatt got it from.....

OpenStudy (mary.rojas):

but then i did more research and found the new right formula
