To determine the lateral area of a cylinder, we first need to calculate the circumference of the base and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder.
The circumference of the base can be calculated using the formula:
Circumference = 2 * π * radius
Given that the radius of the cylinder is 7 inches and pi is approximately 3.14, we can calculate the circumference as follows:
Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * 7 = 43.96 inches
Now that we have the circumference, we can calculate the lateral area of the cylinder by multiplying the circumference by the height:
Lateral Area = Circumference * height
Lateral Area = 43.96 * 14
Lateral Area = 615.44 square inches
Therefore, the lateral area of the cylinder is 615.44 square inches.
