What is the surface area of a cylinder with a base radius 4 and height 5? Either give an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π.
Solution:
Given, base radius of a cylinder = 4 units
Height = 5 units
We have to find the surface area of a cylinder.
Surface area of a cylinder = 2(area of base) + area of the sides
Area of base = πr2
= (3.14)(4)2
= (3.14)(16)
= 50.24 square units.
Area of sides = 2πrh
= 2(3.14)(4)(5)
= 40(3.14)
= 125.6
Surface area = 2(50.24) + 125.6
= 100.48 + 125.6
= 226.08 square units.
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder = 226.08 square units.
What is the surface area of a cylinder with a base radius 4 and height 5? Either give an exact answer in terms of π or use 3.14 for π.
Summary:
The surface area of a cylinder with a base radius 4 and height 5 is 226.08 square units.
