To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to find the sum of the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area.
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = (2 * π * radius * height) + (2 * π * radius^2)
Given that the radius is 5 inches and the height is 10 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = (2 * 3.14 * 5 * 10) + (2 * 3.14 * 5^2)
Surface Area = (2 * 3.14 * 50) + (2 * 3.14 * 25)
Surface Area = (314) + (157)
Surface Area = 471 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches.
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 point)
