1 answer

To find the surface area of a cylinder, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r(h + r) \]

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

Given:

  • Radius \( r = 5 \) inches
  • Height \( h = 10 \) inches
  • Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times (10 + 5) \]

Calculating step-by-step:

  1. Calculate \( h + r \): \[ 10 + 5 = 15 \]

  2. Calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \): \[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \] \[ 6.28 \times 5 = 31.4 \]

  3. Now multiply \( 31.4 \) by \( 15 \): \[ 31.4 \times 15 = 471 \]

Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 471 \text{ square inches} \]

The correct response is 471 square inches.
