a cylindrical fence post has diameter 6 in and length 8 ft. The fence post is placed 2ft into the ground. Determine the exposed area of the post to be painted. Express your answer to the nearest tenth of a square foot.
***
6 inches=(1/2) ft
Area of end of post=πd^2/4=π(1/2)^2/4=(π/4)/4=π/16
surface area of post above ground=6*circumference=6π(1/2)=3π
exposed area of the post to be painted=π/16+3π=9.6 sq ft
