Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi. Calculate the surface area of the cylinder without considering the "Lateral Surface Area".

Answer 1

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:

Surface Area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh

Given:
- Radius (r) = 5 inches
- Height (h) = 10 inches
- Approximation for pi (π) = 3.14

Plug in the values:

Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 5^2 + 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 10
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 25 + 2 * 3.14 * 50
Surface Area = 157 + 314
Surface Area = 471 square inches

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches.
