You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Surface area of an enclosed (top and bottom) cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "SA = 2*Pi*r^2 + 2*Pi*r*h
\n" ); document.write( " = 2*Pi*6^2 + 2*Pi*6*15
\n" ); document.write( " = 791.68ft^2
\n" ); document.write( "791.68ft^2/200 = 3.9 cans
\n" ); document.write( "= 4 cans of paint.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the cylinder is open ended
\n" ); document.write( "SA = 2*Pi*r*h
\n" ); document.write( "= 2*Pi*6*15
\n" ); document.write( "= 565.49ft^2
\n" ); document.write( "565.49/200 = 2.8 cans
\n" ); document.write( "= 3 cans of paint
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
