In order to calculate the surface area of a cylinder, you need to find the sum of the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area.
Given that the formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh and the formula for the area of a circle is πr^2, we can find the surface area.
If we let the radius of the cylinder equal to r and the height of the cylinder equal to h, we can use the given information to solve for the surface area.
Let's assume that the radius of the cylinder is 3 units and the height of the cylinder is 10 units.
The surface area of the two bases can be found using the formula for the area of a circle:
Area of the two bases = 2πr^2 = 2(3.14)(3)^2 = 56.52 in^2
The lateral surface area can be found using the formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder:
Lateral surface area = 2πrh = 2(3.14)(3)(10) = 188.4 in^2
Now, let's find the surface area of the cylinder by summing up the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area:
Surface area = Area of the two bases + Lateral surface area
Surface area = 56.52 + 188.4
Surface area = 244.92 in^2
Since the question asks to round to the nearest tenth, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 244.9 in^2.
None of the given answer choices match the calculated surface area, so none of the options provided are correct.
To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to add the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area.
1. Start by finding the area of one base. Since the base is a circle, the area of one base is given by the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
2. The diagram is not provided in the question, so we'll need to assume the dimensions are given elsewhere. Let's say the radius of the cylinder's base is 5 inches.
3. Calculate the area of one base using the formula: A = πr^2 = 3.14 * 5^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square inches.
4. Now, calculate the lateral surface area. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula A = 2πrh, where A is the area, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder. Again, we'll need to assume the height is given elsewhere. Let's say the height is 10 inches.
5. Calculate the lateral surface area using the formula: A = 2πrh = 2 * 3.14 * 5 * 10 = 314 square inches.
6. Finally, find the total surface area by adding the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area. The formula is A = 2A_base + A_lateral.
A = 2(78.5) + 314 = 157 + 314 = 471 square inches.
7. Now, round the answer to the nearest tenths. The answer is approximately 471.0 square inches.
Therefore, none of the given options match the calculated surface area of the cylinder.
