@iPwnBunnies how do we find the lateral surface area now?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Um, I'm not sure if that's the area of the cylinder or the area of the "rectangle". Hold on.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Kk

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

What was the radius again?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

And the other dimensions, lol.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

The radius is 2.737465021

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Ok, nvm. I'll tell you the formula. Lateral surface area is the surface area of the body. \[L = 2 \pi r h\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

The height should be the width of the rectangle, if we wrapped it around like I was saying.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Sorry openstudy was not letting me see

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

wait so the width/height is 9.8?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Then im lost

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Soz, OS acting up for me too. Yes the height of the cylinder would be the width of the rectangle.
