OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure if any of you guys know how to do this, but I'm very stuck.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Do you know the area formula for a cylindar?

OpenStudy (crissy15):

2πrh is the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I did just google it, so I know a little bit about it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2* pi * r * h + 2 * pi * r^2

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

\[A = \pi rh +2 \pi r\]

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

ya, do you know where to plug in the numbers to solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.14 * 5 (I think) * 9 ... maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure...

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

You know I"m not entirely sure how to do this...the shape isn't even in the form of a cylinder.... @e.mccormick do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

@midhun.madhu1987 how about you?

OpenStudy (crissy15):

http://www.virtualnerd.com/tutorials/?id=PreAlg_11_01_0030 5 is the radius so what is 9? the height?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it's the height I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is stressing me out lol.

OpenStudy (crissy15):

so the answer i know should be AL≈282.74 don't know how to explain it though its stressing -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's supposed to be in inches^2 but I don't know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I'm supposed to express it in pi as well.

OpenStudy (crissy15):

yup its stressing its been years since i did this um my teacher taught me like this, i wasn't patient AL=2*pi*r*h

OpenStudy (crissy15):

its unfolded so its easier the cyclinder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what to do.

OpenStudy (crissy15):

look solve this 2(3.14)(5)(9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's 282.6

OpenStudy (crissy15):

i got 282.6 in sq. sone if its just the lateral you need to find

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a formula for that?

OpenStudy (crissy15):

yea what i had said earlier AL=2*pi*R*H

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Crissy15

OpenStudy (crissy15):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

324.99 so then would I divide that by pi?

OpenStudy (crissy15):

The answer you had before was your answer 282.6 inches squared, but if you also needed to find the surface area then thats a whole different story. I had posted a video all the way up top, that explains what I did.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it has to be in terms of pi. So would I then divide 282.6 by pi
