Find the radius of the base of each cylinder if the surface area is 425.1 square feet, and the height is 6.8 feet.
:
Surface area of a cylinder formula:
SA =
:
In this problem:
= 425.1
:
- 425.1 = 0
:
Multiply the numerical values, 2 and 13.6 by pi, treat it like a quadratic eq:

Solve for r using the quadratic formula: a = 6.283; b = 42.725; c = -425.1
:
You should get a positive value of r = 5.5 ft
