Exercise 15 Page 625

Use the formulas for the lateral area and the surface area of a cylinder.

Lateral Area: 1105.8 cm^2
Surface Area: 1508 cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given a cylinder and want to find its lateral area and surface area. Let's find them one at a time!

Lateral Area

Let's look at the given cylinder.

Recall that the lateral area of a right cylinder is the product of the circumference of the base and the height of the cylinder. L.A.=2π rh In this formula, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. From the diagram above we can see that the diameter of the base is 16 cm. Recall that the diameter of a circle is twice the length of the radius. With this in mind, we can find the length of the radius by substituting d=16 into the formula below.
d=2r
16=2r
16/2=2r/2
8/1=r/1
8=r
r=8
Finally, by substituting r with 8 and h with 22 into the formula, we can solve for L.A. Let's do it!
L.A.=2π rh
L.A.=2π( 8)( 22)
Simplify right-hand side
L.A.=352π
L.A.=1105.840614...
L.A.≈ 1105.8
The lateral area of the cylinder is about 1105.8 cm^2. Now, let's find the surface area!

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. We already found that the radius of the base is 8cm. By substituting r with 8 and h with 22 into the formula for the surface area, we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 8)( 22)+2π( 8)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=2π( 8)(22)+2π(64)
S=352π+128π
S=480π
S=1507.964473...
S≈ 1508
The surface area of the cylinder is about 1508 cm^2.
