What is the surface area measurement of a cylinder with radius 5 centimeters and height 8 centimeters?

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is 2πr(r + h), where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values:
Surface area = 2π(5)(5 + 8)
Surface area = 2π(5)(13)
Surface area = 2π(65)
Surface area = 130π

Using the approximate value of π as 3.14:
Surface area ≈ 130 * 3.14
Surface area ≈ 408.4

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder with radius 5 cm and height 8 cm is 408.4 square centimeters.
