can anyone please help with a few geometry problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the lateral area and surface area. round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we already got the surface area right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[S.A.=\pi \times r(r+\sqrt{h ^{2}+r ^{2}})\]Then, just find the are of the circle and subtract that to get the lateral area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the height 24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now that you mention it, I don't know if that is the slant height or regular height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why i was confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause i thought the height was like measured righ thought the middle top to bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i also got 520.47 using that as the height and its not one of my answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, well let's call it the slant height. If that is the slant height, then the regular height is about 21.33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 475.54?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64****

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For what, the surface area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's pretty off. What are your answer choices for surface area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my radius is 5.5 though right? or is it 11 and it'd be 1209.49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats what it is lol oopss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought 11 was the diameter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

diameter is the entire line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, 11 is the radius. I got 1208.77 for the surface area, so close enough.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now find the lateral area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how!! is there a formula for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the formula for the area of a circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go, but find the area of the circle and subtract it from the surface area, then you get the answer. 1208.77-area of circle= lateral area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

380.1 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm back for a minute. Yes, 379.94, so: 1208.77-379.94=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

828.83

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So: Surface Area: 1208.77 Lateral Area: 828.83

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for helping!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your welcome. :)
