To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to calculate the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh
where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter is 7 yards, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 7 / 2 = 3.5 yards
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * (3.5)^2 + 2 * 3.14 * 3.5 * 8
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 12.25 + 2 * 3.14 * 3.5 * 8
Surface Area = 77 + 219.52
Surface Area = 296.52 square yards (approx)
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 296.52 square yards.
Find the surface area of the cylinder. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi. (1 point) Responses 252.77 yards 252.77 yards 252.77 square yards 252.77 square yards 577.76 square yards 577.76 square yards 329.7 square yards 329.7 square yar
