Exercise 31 Page 638

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

829.4 cm^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 6 and h with 16 into the formula, we can calculate the value of S. Let's do it!

S=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2
S=2Ï€( 6)( 16)+2Ï€( 6)^2
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
S=2Ï€( 6)(16)+2Ï€(36)
S=192Ï€+72Ï€
S=264Ï€
S=829.380460...
S≈ 829.4

The surface area of the cylinder is about 829.4 square centimeters.
