Find the surface area of a cylinder with a height of 12 meters and a diameter of 14 meters. Use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest tenth.

__meters^2

1 answer

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is SA = 2πr(r+h), where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 14 meters, the radius is half of that, which is 7 meters.

Plugging the values into the formula, we get:
SA = 2 * 3.14 * 7(7 + 12)
= 2 * 3.14 * 7(19)
= 2 * 3.14 * 133
= 838.04

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 838.0 square meters.
