Exercise 15 Page 752

Use the formulas for the surface area of a cylinder.

32.5Ď€ cm^2

Practice makes perfect
The given solid is a cylinder. To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula. S=2π rh+2π r^2 In this formula, 2π rh is the lateral area and 2π r^2 is the added area of both circular bases. We are given that r = 2.5 cm and that the lateral area is 2π rh = 20 π cm^2. Substituting these values into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2Ď€ rh+2Ď€ r^2
S= 20+2Ď€( 2.5)^2

Simplify right-hand side
S=20Ď€+2Ď€(6.25)
S=20Ď€+12.5Ď€
S=32.5Ď€
The surface area of the cylinder is 32.5Ď€ cm^2.
