The correct formula for calculating the lateral area of a cylinder is 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the base radius length is 7 in. and the height is 10 in:
Lateral Area = 2π(7)(10)
Lateral Area = 140π
Lateral Area ≈ 439.82 in^2
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. 439.6 in^2
