Question 1161410: Hello,
I need help with this question:
A cylinder has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 14 inches. If a 6-inch strip is cut off around the top of the cylinder, what would be the new total surface area of the cylinder?
Any help is appreciated.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The new height becomes 14-6=8 inches. Since you say nothing about any top surface or bottom surface, then surface area becomes 14%2B2%2Api%2A4=highlight%2814%2B8pi%29 square inches.

If you meant, the 6 inche strip is this value in LENGTH of the strip, then you still need to be given the WIDTH of the strip in order to find the cylinder new area.
