the cylinder has a height of 12.8 inches and a radius of 15.1 to the nearest square unit how much fabric does renata need to cover the lateral surface of a cylindrical container?

Answer 1

To find the lateral surface area of a cylinder, we use the formula:

Lateral Surface Area = 2 * π * r * h

where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Plugging in the values given:

Lateral Surface Area = 2 * π * 15.1 * 12.8
= 2 * 3.14159 * 15.1 * 12.8
= 2 * 3.14159 * 193.28
= 1213.48 square inches

Therefore, Renata will need 1213.48 square inches of fabric to cover the lateral surface of the cylindrical container.
