Question

A wheel of cheese has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 2 inch. A chef is making an appetizer where the cheese will be covered with pastry. To know how much pastry is needed, the chef wants to know the surface area of the cheese wheel. What is the total surface area of the cheese wheel in square inches? Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point)

Answer 1

Cylinder surface area = 2πr(h + r). Here r = 3 in, h = 2 in.

Area = 2(3.14)(3)(2 + 3) = 2(3.14)(3)(5) = 94.2 square inches.

So the total surface area is 94.2 in².
