Exercise 1 Page 622

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

603.2 yd^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given a cylinder and want to find its surface area.

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 10 into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!

S=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2
S=2Ï€( 6)( 10)+2Ï€( 6)^2
â–¼
Simplify right-hand side
S=2Ï€( 6)(10)+2Ï€(36)
S=120Ï€+72Ï€
S=192Ï€
S=603.185789...
S≈ 603.2

The surface area of the cylinder is about 603.2 yd^2.
