Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and a

height of 2 cm. Use the approximation of 3.14 for pi. (1 point)

1 answer

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

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

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • \( r = 4 \) cm
  • \( h = 2 \) cm

Now plug the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times (2 + 4) \]

Calculate \( (h + r) \):

\[ h + r = 2 + 4 = 6 \]

Now substitute back into the surface area formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \]

Calculate \( 2 \times 3.14 \):

\[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]

Now calculate \( 6.28 \times 4 \):

\[ 6.28 \times 4 = 25.12 \]

Now calculate \( 25.12 \times 6 \):

\[ 25.12 \times 6 = 150.72 \]

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 150.72 , \text{cm}^2 \]

So the final answer is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} \approx 150.72 , \text{cm}^2 \]
