Nan

OpenStudy (immings):

A= 2(3.14)(radius which is 1/2 of diameter)(height) + 2(3.14)(radius^2)

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

I've done that at least 5 times and unless I'm doing something wrong, the result is none of my answer choices.

OpenStudy (immings):

convert to centimetres then back to inches

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

6.26(7.55)(12.8)+6.28(15.1) correct? It's none of my choices

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

How to I do that

OpenStudy (immings):

1 inch is 2.54 centimetres so multiply the inches by 2.54

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

Why would that help?

OpenStudy (immings):

Is your answer maybe in centimetres instead of inches? Just an idea.

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

No the problem and the choices are inches

OpenStudy (immings):

oh ok.

OpenStudy (ayubie):

you need the equation for the surface area of a cylinder. do you know that?

OpenStudy (immings):

Oh after re reading it you only need the area of just the sides not the top. So use A= 2(3.14)(7.55)(12.8)

OpenStudy (immings):

The rest of the equation is for finding the top and bottom "circle" surface area. which you don't need.

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

ok so I get...

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

606

OpenStudy (mwhit2101):

Alrighty Thank you! Have a good day!

OpenStudy (immings):

You're welcome.
