Hi @ChiefArnav, so where did you stuck when solving this task ?

OpenStudy (perl):

you can add the external surface area of the pipe to the inside surface area walls of the pipe. then treat the top and bottom by itself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me the steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

may be i might uinderstand then

OpenStudy (perl):

let R = big radius r = little radius h= height Surface Area = 2*Pi *(R+r)*h + 2*Pi*(R^2-r^2)

OpenStudy (perl):

the equation gives you surface area = lateral areas + area of top/bottom

OpenStudy (perl):

so what is big radius R here?

OpenStudy (perl):

we know the big diameter is 20

OpenStudy (perl):

@triciaal Surface area of the side is given by: A = 2Pi*r*h So, let the inner surface area be 2Pi*r*h and the outer surface area be 2Pi*R*h The total area will be: 2Pi*r*h + 2Pi*R*h you can factor 2Pi * ( R + r) h
