Exercise 1 Page 623

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

88.0 mm^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=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 2 and h with 5 into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 2)( 5)+2π( 2)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=2π( 2)(5)+2π(4)
S=20π+8π
S=28π
S=87.964594...
S≈ 88.0
The surface area of the cylinder is about 88.0 or 88 square millimeters.
