Use the formula for the lateral area and surface area of a cylinder.
Lateral Area: ≈ 125.7 in.^2
Surface Area: ≈ 226.2 in.^2
Consider the given solid.
The given solid is a cylinder. It has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 5 inches. Let's first calculate the lateral area and then the surface 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.
r= 4, h= 5

The lateral area is about 125.7 square inches.
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=2Ï€ rh+2Ï€ r^2 Earlier, we found that 2Ï€ r h is about 125.7. Moreover, we have that r is 4. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate S.
The surface area of the cylinder is about 226.2 square inches.
