4. Find the lateral area for the given cylinder. Use 3.14 for and round to the nearest whole
number.
6 yd
24 yd
O 144 yd²
O 288 yd²
O 2,712 yd²
O 904 yd²
To find the lateral area of a cylinder, you need to calculate the surface area of the curved part of the cylinder (excluding the top and bottom bases). The formula for the lateral area of a cylinder is:
Lateral Area = 2 * π * radius * height
Given:
Radius = 6 yd
Height = 24 yd
Now, let's use the formula to calculate the lateral area:
Lateral Area = 2 * 3.14 * 6 * 24
= 904.32 yd²
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 904 yd².
Therefore, the correct answer is O 904 yd².
