The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by:
Lateral Surface Area = 2πrh
where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given a radius of 2.5 meters and a height of 7 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Lateral Surface Area = 2(3.14)(2.5)(7)
= 43.96
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is approximately 44.0 square meters.
Part A
