Exercise 38 Page 820

Practice makes perfect
a We are asked to draw three cylinders with the following dimensions.
Cylinder A B C
Radius r=3 r=6 r=3
Height h=5 h=5 h=10

Let's do it!

b We are asked to create a table of the radius, height, lateral area, and surface area of cylinders A, B, and C. Let's do it!
Cylinder A B C
Radius r= 3 r= 6 r= 3
Height h = 5 h = 5 h = 10
Lateral Area L=2π r h
L_\text{A}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{3}})({\color{#009600}{5 }})=30\pi L_\text{B}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{6}})({\color{#009600}{5 }})=60\pi L_\text{C}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{3}})({\color{#009600}{10}})=60\pi
Surface Area S=2π r h +π r^2
S_\text{A}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{3}})({\color{#009600}{5 }})+\pi({\color{#0000FF}{3}})^2=39\pi S_\text{B}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{6}})({\color{#009600}{5 }})+\pi({\color{#0000FF}{6}})^2=96\pi S_\text{C}=2\pi ({\color{#0000FF}{3}})({\color{#009600}{10}})+\pi({\color{#0000FF}{3}})^2=69\pi
c Based on the table from Part B, if we double the radius or the height of Cylinder A we double its lateral area. If we double the radius or the height of Cylinder A, the surface area is increased, but not proportionally. This happens because the lateral area L=2π rh varies directly with r and h, while the surface area does not.
