Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest whole number. it's radius is 13 and its height is 14 pleaseeeee help!

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't understand it... sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so pi times the radius squared times the height?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

remember BEDMAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's that?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

It's the order to do these things.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

B = Brackets E = Exponents D = Division M = Multiplication A = Addition S = Subtration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you cut the cylinder along the length then you should get a rectangle. One side is the length of the cylinder and the other side is the perimeter of the circle.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

pi (3.14) x 169 (radius to the power of 2) x 14 (height)= answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which would I multiply first?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

That's the volume formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, so I don't do what you put down?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

no, i accidentally gave you the volume formula, you're looking for the surface area

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

2 x pi x R^2 + 2 x pi x r x h = answer

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Do the operation according to BEDMAS.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Do you understand?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

phuck it, the answer is 2206.
