Exercise 73 Page 477

Use the formulas for the surface area and volume of a cylinder.

Surface Area: 402.1 square centimeters
Volume: 603.2 cubic centimeters

We are asked to find the surface area and the volume of the given cylinder. Let's start with the surface area.

Surface Area

Our cylinder has a diameter of 8 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters.

If we divide the diameter by 2, we get the radius of the base. r=8/2=4cm Now we can use the following formula to calculate the surface area of the cylinder. S=2π rh+2π r^2 In this formula, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Let's substitute 4 for r and 12 for h in the formula and solve for S.
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 4)( 12)+2π( 4)^2
Evaluate right-hand side
S=2π( 4)(12)+2π(16)
S=96π+32π
S=128π
S=402.123859...
S≈ 402.1
We found that the surface area of the cylinder is about 402.1 square centimeters.

Volume

The volume of a cylinder with the radius r and height h can be calculated by using the following formula. V=π r^2 h Since we are given both the radius and the height of the cylinder, we can substitute them into the formula and calculate V. Let's do it!
V=π r^2 h
V=π ( 4)^2 ( 12)
Evaluate right-hand side
V=π( 16)( 12)
V=192π
V=603.185789...
V≈ 603.2
The approximate volume of the given cylinder is 603.2 cubic centimeters.
