Determine the area of the lateral face of the cylinder below. Round your answer to the nearest number. Use 3.14 for pi.

Line going straight across the top: 10 inches
height 3

1 answer

The lateral face of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula 2πrh, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.

In this case, the radius is half of the line going straight across the top, so it is 10/2 = 5 inches.

Plugging in the values:

2 * 3.14 * 5 * 3 = 94.2 square inches

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the area of the lateral face of the cylinder is 94 square inches.
