Question 316753: the surface area of a right circular cylinder with a circular radius r and a height h is given by s= 2 pie r squared. explain why his is so. then find how much cardboard is needed to make a toilet paper tube if the tube is 4.5 inches long with a radius of 1 inch Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Imagine a cardboard tube.
Cut the tube lengthwise and unroll it.
The tube is now unrolled and flattened into a rectangle.
The length of the rectangle is along the cut line, .
The width of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle or .
The area of the rectangle is
Your surface area formula would only be correct if sq.in. or approximately, sq.in.
