@darkknight

darkknight:

do you know the formula for surface area for a cylinder?

100kpimpcess:

yes

100kpimpcess:

2 \[\pi \] r^2 + 2 [\pi \] r h

darkknight:

in case you dont \

darkknight:

test?

darkknight:

\[test\]

darkknight:

okay it works, sorry ab that

100kpimpcess:

no its hw

darkknight:

no i was testing the equation toolbar, your good

100kpimpcess:

oh ok

darkknight:

You are given the diameter (double the radius) and the height, it is enough information to figure out the surface area, plug in values for h and r (half the diameter) into the formula please

100kpimpcess:

im confused a little

darkknight:

sure, so the formula is \[2*\pi*r^2+2*\pi*rh\] we know the height is 18, the diameter is 7 so the radius is 3.5 plug in those values into the formula and evaluate please

100kpimpcess:

ok

100kpimpcess:

ok so i got 76.93+113.04

darkknight:

what do you notice about what you got compared to what the person in the problem got?

100kpimpcess:

they rounded to the nearest whole number ?

well, they got 76.9, rounding isnt the problem they had, they didn't have the other part of it, also double check, i got 76.93+ 395.84 not 113.04+76.93

darkknight:

They only had the 2*pi *r^2 and forgot about the 2*pi * r*h part of the formula that they had to add on

100kpimpcess:

ohhhh ok
