To find the surface area of a right circular cylinder, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
First, we need to find the radius from the diameter. Given that the diameter is 13 inches, the radius is:
\[ r = \frac{13}{2} = 6.5 \text{ inches} \]
Now, substitute \( r \), \( h = 4 \) inches, and \( \pi = 3.14 \) into the surface area formula:
- Calculate the area of the top and bottom circles (2πr²):
\[ 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (6.5)^2 \] \[ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 42.25 \approx 2 \times 3.14 \times 42.25 \approx 266.45 \]
- Calculate the area of the side (2πrh):
\[ 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 6.5 \times 4 \] \[ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 26 \approx 163.28 \]
Adding the two areas together gives us:
\[ \text{Surface Area} \approx 266.45 + 163.28 \approx 429.73 \text{ inches}^2 \]
Given the options, it looks like there is a slight rounding issue in calculations as the nearest option is:
428.61 inches²
So the surface area Marco needs to frost is approximately \( \text{428.61 inches}^2 \).
