Hello, \n" ); document.write( "Since we know the formula is S=2 pi rh+2 pi r2 all we need to do is plug in the values we know to get: \n" ); document.write( "S=2 pi 2.5(8)+ 2 pi 2.5^2 Do the calculation and we get: \n" ); document.write( "S=40 pi + 12.5 pi Combine to get: \n" ); document.write( "S=52.5 pi square cm We could plug in 3.14 for pi to get: \n" ); document.write( "164.9 sq cm (rounded to the nearest tenth) \n" ); document.write( "Make Sense? \n" ); document.write( "RJ Check out a book I wrote on the basics of math: \n" ); document.write( "www.math-unlock.com \n" ); document.write( " |
