Question

find the surface area of this cylinder. use 3.14 for π. 2 m 7 m surface area of a cylinder la = 2πrh sa = la + 2b sa = ? m² round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

Answer:

First, find the lateral area (LA):
\( LA = 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 7 = 87.92 \)

Then, find the area of the base (B), which is a circle:
\( B = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 2^2 = 12.56 \)

Now, find the surface area (SA):
\( SA = LA + 2B = 87.92 + 2 \times 12.56 = 87.92 + 25.12 = 113.04 \)

Rounding to the nearest tenth: \( 113.0 \) (Wait, 113.04 to the nearest tenth is 113.0? Wait, no—113.04 rounded to the nearest tenth: the hundredth digit is 4, which is less than 5, so we keep the tenth digit as is. Wait, 113.04: the tenths place is 0, hundredths is 4. So 113.0? Wait, no, wait: 87.92 + 25.12 is 113.04. So to the nearest tenth, that's 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the tenths digit is 0, hundredths is 4. So we round down, so 113.0? Wait, no, wait, 113.04 is 113.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 113.04: the number is 113.04. The tenths place is 0, the hundredths is 4. So yes, 113.0. But wait, maybe I made a mistake in calculation. Let's check again:

\( 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 7 = 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28; 6.28 \times 2 = 12.56; 12.56 \times 7 = 87.92 \) (correct).

\( 3.14 \times 2^2 = 3.14 \times 4 = 12.56 \) (correct).

\( 2 \times 12.56 = 25.12 \) (correct).

\( 87.92 + 25.12 = 113.04 \) (correct).

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the tenths digit is 0, the hundredths is 4, so we round down, so 113.0. But wait, maybe the problem expects 113.0 or 113.04 rounded to nearest tenth is 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the first decimal is 0, second is 4. So yes, 113.0. But let me confirm: 113.04 to the nearest tenth is 113.0. Alternatively, maybe I miscalculated. Wait, no, the formula is correct. So the surface area is 113.0 m² (rounded to the nearest tenth). Wait, but 113.04 is 113.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 113.04: the tenths place is 0, hundredths is 4, so we don't round up. So 113.0. But let me check with another approach. Wait, maybe the radius is 2, height 7. So lateral surface area is 2πrh = 23.1427 = 87.92. Area of two bases: 2πr² = 23.144 = 25.12. Total surface area: 87.92 + 25.12 = 113.04. Rounded to the nearest tenth: 113.0. So the answer is 113.0.
