Question

I have to find the surface area of a cylinder with a base radius of 2yd and a height of 3yd. How do i write my answer in terms of pi?
PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

Surface area of a cylinder = 2(pi)(radius)^2 + 2(pi)(radius)(height)

Just substitute radius = 2, and height = 3.

Answer 2

Yes, i got the answer 62.83, but how do i do it in terms of pi?

Answer 3

is it just 62.83pi?

Answer 4

How did you get 62.83pi?

Answer 5

(2*3.14*2^2)+(2*3.14*2*3)

Answer 6

Don't use 3.14 for pi..leave pi as pi.

what do you get now?

Answer 7

i got 20...

Answer 8

so it would be 20pi?

Answer 9

Yes. So the surface area is 20 pi.

Answer 10

The question asks you to leave your answer in terms of pi, which means not to use 3.14 for pi, but rather leave your answer as 20 pi.
