picture of question in comments, surface area of cylinder

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

@ILovePuppiesLol

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

First what shapes do you recognize fro ma cylinder that will help you calculate its area?

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

@snowsurf hi, sorry i got distracted...and circles, i see circles, dont i have to find the area of the circle first, but i dont know how to get the surface area of a circle

OpenStudy (snowsurf):

Area of a circle is \[A = \pi r^2\]

Heyo! It seems as though you are in connexus...in which i am as well ^^..... So to find the surface area of the cylinder we would have to find the radius....so we would divide the diameter by 2.... \(\Huge{2 \div 2 = ?}\)

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

1 and 1 times pi is 3.14 so the area is 3.14?

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

and yea im in SCCA

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Once now that you have found the radius we would now input what we know into this equation... \(\Huge{SA=2 π r^{2} + 2 π r h}\) In which r is 1 and h is 15 and we substitute pi as 3.14....so we input... \(\Huge{SA=2(3.14)1^{2}+2(3.14)1(15)}\) You would simplify this to find the surface area ^^

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

where did you get 15?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

In you picture we have 15cm that is the height for the cylinder....

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

oh, oh okay i feel dumb okay

563blackghost (563blackghost):

its alright ^^

563blackghost (563blackghost):

im sorry but i must go :(

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

*wipes tear and waves tissue frantically* okay goodbye :D

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

@hartnn I DONT KNOW HOW TO SIMPLIFY EQUATIONS I DID THAT LAST SEMESTER PLEASe HELP

hartnn (hartnn):

so you're stuck here? \(\Large {SA=2(3.14)1^{2}+2(3.14)1(15)}\)

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

we i know pmdas but on the second part (after +) i dont know what to multiply

hartnn (hartnn):

15*2 = 30 3.14*30 = 94.2

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

why is 15 multiplyed by 2? their n comepletely different sides.

hartnn (hartnn):

2*3.14 = 6.28 lastly, 6.28+94.2 = ... is your answer. because of cummulative property of multiplication \(a\times b \times c = a\times c \times b\)

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

100.48

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge \checkmark \)

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

thanks you dont know how close i was to putting this (here, you get best response from me so i didnt completely waste ur time but im gonna watch friends, bye) but then you started typing so i deleted it lol XD

hartnn (hartnn):

lol i don't care about medals anymore. and FRIENDS is my favorite TV series :D

OpenStudy (flygirlmandi):

mine too XD
