The radius of a cylinder is 3.5 ft. The height is 14 ft. Find the surface area and volume of the cylinder to the nearest tenth of a foot. Show all of your work.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

First step: do you know the formulas for surface area and volume of a cylinder?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, bust out your textbook and look them up!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

I DON'T HAVE A TEXTBOOK

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@undeadknight26 and @kamibug and @agent0simth

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay, how are you learning this material? No one expects you to magically know the formulas.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Online School

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Yeah, and you watch lectures, right? Do you take notes?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No, and sometimes.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

How are you being instructed?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Online lessons!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

So are you watching videos? Watch them again, and take notes!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

One of the things you need to learn is how to look things up if you don't remember them. Why don't you try a web search for "formula for surface area of a cylinder" and "formula for volume of a cylinder"

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Why can't you be nice? It's my first time!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Look, I am being nice — I'm giving you a valuable lesson in being successful in your class.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

I could also just tell you the formula is \[V = \pi r^2 h \] and \[A = 2\pi r h\]but someone already did that and you didn't bother to keep the information.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

sorry, \[A = 2\pi r h + 2*\pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No your not, look my Brother-In-Law in in the Marines, and my Dad is a Police Officer and they can find out where you live and kick your a$$,OK!!!!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

By the way, here's some help with your English: "your" is a possessive, and "you're" is a contraction of "you are". I'm quaking in my chair, worrying about your brother-in-law and daddy coming to beat me up.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Undead can you help me?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

You should!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

palmer what should we do? she just wants answers...

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Step 1: get the formulas. Completed. Step 2: plug the numbers in to the formulas Step 3: remember to pay attention to instructor, and write down what they tell you for future use

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Whatever all I asked for was help is that so hard!!

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

The best help you can get is learning to help yourself.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

I've provided you with everything you need to work out the answers, so long as you know the (approximate) value of \(\pi\). Do you?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Nahhhhhhhh, Yes, 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

Okay. Work the problems, and show us your work if you get stuck
