Exercise 29 Page 638

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

150.8 ft^2

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a cylinder.

To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula. S=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2 In this formula, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. By substituting r with 3 and h with 5 into the formula, we can find the value of S. Let's do it!

S=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2
S=2Ï€( 3)( 5)+2Ï€( 3)^2
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
S=2Ï€( 3)(5)+2Ï€(9)
S=30Ï€+18Ï€
S=48Ï€
S=150.796447...
S≈ 150.8

The surface area of the cylinder is about 150.8 square feet.
