4. Find the surface area of a cylinder with d = 6 cm: h = 8 cm. A. 56.52 sq. cm B. 207.24 sq. cm C. 150.72 sq. cm D. 28.26 sq. cm
Area is equal to Pi times the radius squared (Pi*r^2) and after you have the area, (the area is like a lid to a cylinder) you times that by 2 (because there's one on top and on bottom) you will need to find the side
if you cut a straight line down the side, then the cylinder will just be a BIG rectangle! the area of a rectangle is Length times width
Length will be the Height of the Cylinder, and the width (what wraps around the top) will be the same as the circumference (or Pi * radius*2)
so it will be Height times Circumference PLUS Area of top times Area of bottom
OR Height times 2Pi*r PLUS 2Pi*r^2
You follow that @butterflyheart16 ? :)
Yeah
the radius is half of the diameter so the radius is 6/2 or 3cm
SO, 8cm*2*Pi*3cm+2*Pi*3cm^2
just put it in your calculator...
I am
Let me know what you get :)
i got 170.4392
I got 207.35..
sorry it's a little confusing with the centimeters in the middle of the equation
I left them there, because then you can see that your answer ends up being in units of cm^2 :)
Oh okay that makes sense :)
Can you help me with 1 more question
sure,
if it's quick
I've gotta head in 5 mins
