Algebra.Com's Answer #75104 by HyperBrain(694) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A good example is a can. Take note that it has TWO CIRCULAR bases. Something else happens when you 'unwrap' the can. It will make you a RECTANGLE with a length equal to the CIRCUMFERENCE of one base and a WIDTH equal to the HEIGHT of the cylinder.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, \n" ); document.write( "surface area =area of two bases + the area of the rectangle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "area of the two bases= \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "area of the rectangle= \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " where r=radius \n" ); document.write( " h=height\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus,\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "surface area= \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substituting r=4 and h=7,\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "S.A.= \n" ); document.write( " = |
