Mark is packaging a birthday present in the shape of a cylinder in wrapping paper. If the height of the cylinder is 10 inches and the diameter of the cylinder's circular base is 20 inches, how much wrapping paper, rounded to the nearest square inch, is required to completely cover the present? Use 3.14 for π. Select one: A. 526 B. 754 C. 998 D. 1256

well in this question they are finding the surface area of a cylinder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for that is 2πrh + 2πr^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya @kelgendi1 is right so u must use \[2 \pi r h+ 2 \pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (2π*20/2*10)(2π*20/2^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@9ix9ix can u understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand how i plugged the numbers in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):
