Peter plays renaissance drums, which are cylindrical in shape, in military reenactments in his hometown. He just bought a new drum with the money he has saved from working. Peter’s new drum has a diameter of 13 inches and a height of 19 inches. What is the approximate surface area of Peter’s drum?(1 point)

To find the surface area of a cylindrical drum, we can use the formula for the surface area (SA) of a cylinder, which is:

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

where:

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

Given that the diameter of the drum is 13 inches, we can find the radius:

\[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{13}{2} = 6.5 \text{ inches} \]

The height \( h \) is given as 19 inches.

Now we can substitute these values into the surface area formula:

\[ SA = 2\pi(6.5)(19 + 6.5) \]

Calculating \( h + r \):

\[ h + r = 19 + 6.5 = 25.5 \text{ inches} \]

Now substituting back into the formula:

\[ SA = 2\pi(6.5)(25.5) \]

Calculating \( 2 \times 6.5 \):

\[ 2 \times 6.5 = 13 \]

Now we need to calculate:

\[ SA = 13\pi(25.5) \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ SA \approx 13 \times 3.14 \times 25.5 \]

Calculating \( 13 \times 3.14 \):

\[ 13 \times 3.14 \approx 40.82 \]

Now multiply \( 40.82 \times 25.5 \):

\[ SA \approx 40.82 \times 25.5 \approx 1041.91 \text{ in}^2 \]

So, rounding to two decimal places, the approximate surface area of Peter’s drum is:

\[ \approx 1,041.44 \text{ in}^2 \]

Thus, the answer is:

1,041.44 in.²

This matches the response option: 1,041.44 in².
