Exercise 17 Page 904

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

Lateral Area: ≈ 113.1 cm^2
Surface Area: ≈ 169.6 cm^2

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given solid.

The given solid is a cylinder. It has a radius of 3 centimeters and a height of 6 centimeters. Let's first calculate the lateral area and then the surface area.

Lateral Area

To calculate the lateral area, we can use the known formula where h is the height of the cylinder and r is the radius of the base. L=2π rh We are given both the height and the radius. Let's calculate the lateral area.
L=2π rh
L=2π ( 3)( 6)
Evaluate right-hand side
L=2π(18)
L=2*18π
L=36π
L=113.09733...
L≈ 113.1
The lateral area is about 113.1 square centimeters.

Surface Area

To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the known formula where h is the height of the cylinder and r is the radius of the base. S=2π rh+2π r^2 Earlier, we found that 2π rh is about 113.1. Moreover, we have that r is 3. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate S.
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S≈ 113.1+2π( 3)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S≈ 113.1+2π(9)
S≈ 113.1+2* 9π
S≈ 113.1+18π
S≈ 113.1+56.54866...
S≈ 113.1+56.5
S≈ 169.6
The surface area of the cylinder is about 169.6 square centimeters.
