The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the cheese wheel is 6 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 3 inches.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
2π(3)(2) + 2π(3)^2
= 6π + 18π
= 24π
Using the value of pi as 3.14, we can calculate the total surface area of the cheese wheel:
24π ≈ 24(3.14) = 75.36
Therefore, the total surface area of the cheese wheel is approximately 75.36 square inches.
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)
