Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

1583.4 ft^2

Practice makes perfect

We want to calculate the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 12 feet and a height of 9 feet. To do that, 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. Substituting r with 12 and h with 9 into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!

S=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2
S=2Ï€( 12)( 9)+2Ï€( 12)^2
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
S=2Ï€( 12)(9)+2Ï€(144)
S=216Ï€+288Ï€
S=504Ï€
S=1583.362697...
S≈ 1583.4

The surface area of the cylinder is about 1583.4 square feet.
