The surface area of a right circular cylinder can be calculated using the formula: 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height (or length in this case) of the cylinder.
Given that the diameter is 0.50 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 0.25 inches.
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 0.25 * 36 + 2 * 3.14 * 0.25^2
Surface Area = 56.52 inches squared
Therefore, the surface area of the steel rod is 56.52 inches squared.
Correct Response: 56.52 inches2.
