1 answer

To find the area of both circles and the surface area of the cylinder, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the area of one base of the cylinder (circle) using the formula \( A = \pi r^2 \).

  2. Since the cylinder has two identical bases, we will multiply the area of one base by 2.

  3. Calculate the area of the rectangle (the side of the cylinder) using the formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder \( SA_{rectangle} = 2\pi rh \).

  4. Combine the areas of the circles and the rectangle to find the total surface area.

Given:

  • Radius (r) = 5 cm (assuming this is the radius of the base of the cylinder)
  • Height (h) = 8 cm

Step 1: Area of one circle

\[ A = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times (5)^2 = 3.14 \times 25 = 78.5 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Step 2: Area of both circles

\[ \text{Area of both circles} = 2 \times A = 2 \times 78.5 = 157 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Step 3: Area of the rectangle (lateral surface area)

\[ SA_{rectangle} = 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 8 \] Calculating: \[ SA_{rectangle} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 8 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 40 \] \[ SA_{rectangle} = 2 \times 125.6 = 251.2 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Step 4: Total surface area

\[ \text{Total SA} = \text{Area of both circles} + SA_{rectangle} = 157 + 251.2 = 408.2 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Summary of Answers

  • Area of both circles: 157 cm²
  • Area of rectangle: 251.2 cm²
  • Total surface area: 408.2 cm²
