Exercise 28 Page 648

Use the formulas for the surface area.

about 1885.0 m^2

Practice makes perfect
The given solid is a cylinder with a radius of 15 meters and a height of 5 meters. To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula. S=2π rh+2π r^2 In this formula, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Substituting r with 15 and h with 5 into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 15)( 5)+2π( 15)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=2π( 15)(5)+2π(225)
S=150π+450π
S=600π
S=1884.955592...
S≈ 1885.0
The surface area of the cylinder is about 1885.0 m^2.
