Exercise 46 Page 821

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

448 in^2

Practice makes perfect
Let's recall the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. S=2Ď€ rh+2Ď€ r^2Here, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Let's start by finding the radius of the base. We can use the known formula for the circumference for the circle and substituting C with 16Ď€.
C=2Ď€ r
16Ď€=2Ď€ r
â–Ľ
Solve for r
8 = r
r = 8
Now we have enough information to find the surface area of the cylinder. Let's substitute r with 8 and h with 20 into the formula.
S=2Ď€ rh+2Ď€ r^2
S=2Ď€( 8)( 20)+2Ď€( 8)^2
â–Ľ
Simplify right-hand side
S=2Ď€(8)(20)+2Ď€(64)
S=320Ď€+128Ď€
S=448Ď€
The surface area of the cylinder is about 448 in^2.
