Algebra.Com's Answer #444456 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The surface area of a cylinder is equal to the lateral area plus the area of the top and bottom base.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of each base of the cylinder is equal to pi * r^2 which is equal to pi * (4.7)^2 which is equal to pi * 22.09 which is equal to 22.09 * pi.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply this by 2 to get a total of 44.18 * pi\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the lateral area of the cylinder is equal to 2 * pi * r * h which is equal to 2 * pi * 4.7 * 12 which is equal to 112.8 * pi\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "add up 44.18 * pi and 112.8 * pi and you get a total surface area of 156.98 * pi.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is the surface area in terms of pi.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "multiply by the value of pi to get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total surface area equals 493.1672148 square meters which can be rounded to however many decimal places you require.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "here's a reference you can look at to see what these formulas mean.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://www.mathopenref.com/cylinderarea.html \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
