find the surface area of a cylinder with 7 yd and 8 yd , using 3.14 pi

Answer 1

To find the surface area of a cylinder, you need to calculate the sum of the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is: LSA = 2πrh, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

Given that the radius of the base (r) is 7 yd and the height (h) is 8 yd, we can calculate the lateral surface area:

LSA = 2 * 3.14 * 7 * 8 = 2 * 3.14 * 56 = 351.68 yd²

The formula for the area of a circle is: A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle. Since there are two circular bases on a cylinder, we need to calculate the sum of their areas:

Base Area = 2 * π * 7² = 98π yd² (approx. 307.88 yd²)

Now, to find the total surface area, we add the lateral surface area to the sum of the areas of the two circular bases:

Total Surface Area = LSA + Base Area
Total Surface Area = 351.68 yd² + 307.88 yd² = 659.56 yd²

Therefore, the surface area of the given cylinder is approximately 659.56 square yards.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the surface area of the cylinder correctly.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is: SA = 2πrh + 2πr^2.
Given that the radius (r) is 7 yd and the height (h) is 8 yd, we can substitute these values into the formula:

SA = 2 * π * 7 * 8 + 2 * π * 7^2
SA = 2 * π * 56 + 2 * π * 49
SA = 112π + 98π
SA = 210π

Now, we need to approximate the value of π to two decimal places (3.14).
Thus, SA ≈ 210 * 3.14

SA ≈ 659.4 yd²

Therefore, the closest answer choice to the surface area of the given cylinder is 659.4 yd², which rounds to 659.7 yd².
