Exercise 5 Page 716

Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.

377 cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given the following 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. Substituting r for 4 and h for 11 into the formula, we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 4)( 11)+2π( 4)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=2π(4)(11)+2π(16)
S=2(4)(11)π+2(16)π
S=88π+32π
S=120π
S=376.991118...
S≈ 377
The surface area of the cylinder is about 377 cm^2.
