The formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)
where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given that the radius (r) is 6 centimeters and the height (h) is 4 centimeters, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2π(6)(6 + 4)
Surface Area = 2π(6)(10)
Surface Area = 2π(60)
Surface Area = 120π
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 120π square centimeters.
If you want a numerical approximation for the value, you can use 3.14 as an approximation for π and calculate the answer as follows:
Surface Area ≈ 120(3.14)
Surface Area ≈ 376.8 square centimeters
So, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 376.8 square centimeters.
What is the surface area measurement of a cylinder with radius 6 centimeters and height 4 centimeters.
