1 answer

Let's solve each question step by step.

Given:

  • Diameter of the cake: 8 inches
  • Height of the cake: 10 inches

Question 1:

Calculate the radius: \[ \text{radius} = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{8 , \text{inches}}{2} = 4 , \text{inches} \] Answer: 4 inches

Question 2:

Area of the top circular base: \[ \text{area} = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (4 , \text{inches})^2 = 3.14 \times 16 = 50.24 , \text{square inches} \] Answer: 50.24 square inches

Question 3:

Area of the bottom circular base: (It’s identical to the top circular base) \[ \text{area} = 50.24 , \text{square inches} \] Answer: 50.24 square inches

Question 4:

Total area of circular bases (add the areas): \[ \text{total area of circular bases} = \text{area of top} + \text{area of bottom} = 50.24 + 50.24 = 100.48 , \text{square inches} \] Answer: 100.48 square inches

Question 5:

Circumference of the circular base: \[ \text{circumference} = 2 \pi r = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 , \text{inches} = 25.12 , \text{inches} \] Answer: 25.12 square inches (Note: The circumference is in inches, not square inches)

Question 6:

Height of the cylinder:

  • Given height = 10 inches Answer: 10 inches

Question 7:

Area of the lateral face (circumference x height): \[ \text{area of the lateral face} = \text{circumference} \times \text{height} = 25.12 \times 10 = 251.2 , \text{square inches} \] Answer: 251.2 square inches

Question 8:

Find the surface area of the cylinder: \[ \text{Surface Area} = \text{total area of circular bases} + \text{area of lateral rectangular face} \] \[ \text{Surface Area} = 100.48 + 251.2 = 351.68 , \text{square inches} \] Answer: 351.68 (total area of circular bases) + 251.2 (area of lateral rectangular face) = 351.68 square inches
