Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi.

1. 471 square inches
2. 345.4 square inches
3. 471 inches
4. 314 square inches

1 answer

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:

SA = 2πr(r + h)

where "SA" is the surface area, "π" is approximately 3.14, "r" is the radius, and "h" is the height.

Plugging in the given values:

SA = 2*3.14*5(5 + 10)
SA = 2*3.14*5(15)
SA = 2*3.14*75
SA = 471 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches. The answer is 1.
