Exercise 7 Page 817

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

About 10.0 centimeters

Practice makes perfect

The can of soup, which has a surface area of S= 286.3 square centimeters, can be modeled by the following cylinder.

The radius of the base is r= 3.4 centimeters. We are asked to find the height of the can h and round the answer to the nearest tenth. Let's use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder and substitute the known values.

S=2π r h+2π r^2

SubstituteII

S= 286.3, r= 3.4

286.3=2π ( 3.4) h+2π ( 3.4)^2
