What is the surface area of the cylinder in terms of π.

Radius: 6 in.
Height: 24 in.

1 answer

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:

S.A. = 2πr² + 2πrh

where r is the radius of the base, h is the height of the cylinder.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

S.A. = 2π(6²) + 2π(6)(24)
S.A. = 72π + 288π
S.A. = 360π

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 360π square inches.
