Find the surface area of the cylinder use the approximation 3.14 for pi 7 yd is the radius 8 y d is the length
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given by:
Surface Area = 2πrh + 2πr^2
where r is the radius and h is the height (or length) of the cylinder.
Given:
Radius (r) = 7 yd
Length (h) = 8 yd
Using the approximation of π as 3.14, we can substitute the values in the formula:
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(7)(8) + 2(3.14)(7)^2
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(56) + 2(3.14)(49)
Surface Area = 351.68 + 307.84
Surface Area = 659.52
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 659.52 square yards.
