1 answer

The surface area \( S \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[ S = 2\pi r(h + r) \]

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius of the cylinder,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • Radius \( r = 5 \) inches,
  • Height \( h = 10 \) inches.

Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:

\[ S = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5 \cdot (10 + 5) \]

Calculating the part inside the parentheses:

\[ 10 + 5 = 15 \]

Now substitute that back into the surface area formula:

\[ S = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 5 \cdot 15 \]

Calculating \( 2 \cdot 3.14 \):

\[ 2 \cdot 3.14 = 6.28 \]

Now multiply \( 6.28 \), \( 5 \), and \( 15 \):

\[ S = 6.28 \cdot 5 \cdot 15 \]

First calculate \( 6.28 \cdot 5 \):

\[ 6.28 \cdot 5 = 31.4 \]

Now multiply that by \( 15 \):

\[ S = 31.4 \cdot 15 = 471 \]

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

The correct response is 471 square inches.
