To calculate the lateral area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula.
L=2π rh
In this formula, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Let's substitute 8 and 6 for r and h, respectively, into the formula and simplify.
We know that lateral area is 96π or approximately 301.6 ft^2.
Surface Area
To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula.
S=L+2π r^2
In this formula, L is the lateral area of the cylinder and r is the radius of the base. Let's now substitute 96π and 8 for L and r, respectively, into the formula and simplify. Let's do it!
