Exercise 17 Page 716

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

188in.^2

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider the given 3-D figure.

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, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. From the figure, we know that the diameter of the base is 6in. To use the formula, we first need to divide the diameter by 2 to determine the radius. r=6/2 ⇔ r= 3 Now, we can substitute 3 for r and 7 for h into the formula and solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 3)( 7)+2π( 3)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=2π( 3)(7)+2π(9)
S=42π+18π
S=60π
S=188.495559...
S≈ 188
The surface area of the cylinder is about 188 in.^2.
