calculate the total surface area of a closed cylinder with base radius 7/2cm and height, 5cm. [Take n=1/7]
2πr(r+h) = 2π(7/2)(7/2 + 5) = 119/2 π ≈ 186.92 cm^2
and pi ≈ 22/7
not n = 1/7
what garbage!
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the value of pi is approximately 22/7 and not n=1/7.
Using the correct value of pi, the total surface area of the closed cylinder is:
A = 2πrh + 2πr^2
A = 2π(7/2)(5) + 2π(7/2)^2
A = 35π + 49π
A = 84π
A ≈ 263.75 cm^2 (rounded to two decimal places)
I apologize for any confusion caused by my mistake earlier. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
84π rounded to 2 decimals is 263.89 , not 263.75
You are correct. I apologize for my mistake.
The actual calculation is:
A = 84π
A ≈ 263.89 cm^2 (rounded to two decimal places)
Thank you for correcting me.
To calculate the total surface area of a closed cylinder, you need to find the sum of the areas of its curved surface and its two circular bases.
Let's start by calculating the curved surface area.
The formula to calculate the curved surface area of a cylinder is given by:
Curved Surface Area = (2 * π * r * h)
Where,
π represents the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14159)
r represents the base radius of the cylinder
h represents the height of the cylinder
In this case, the base radius (r) is given as 7/2 cm and the height (h) is given as 5 cm.
Curved Surface Area = (2 * π * (7/2) * 5)
Next, simplify the expression using the value of π:
Curved Surface Area = (2 * (22/7) * (7/2) * 5)
= (2 * 22 * 5)
= 220 cm²
Now, let's calculate the area of the two circular bases.
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is given by:
Area of a Circle = π * r²
For the two circular bases, we will calculate the area of one base (as both bases have the same radius) and then multiply it by 2.
In this case, the base radius (r) is given as 7/2 cm.
Area of one circular base = (π * (7/2)²)
Again, simplify the expression using the value of π:
Area of one circular base = ((22/7) * (7/2)²)
= (22/7) * (49/4)
= (22 * 49) / (7 * 4)
= 1078/28 cm²
Since there are two circular bases, we multiply the result by 2:
Area of both circular bases = (2 * 1078/28)
= 38.5 cm² (approximately)
Finally, find the total surface area by adding the curved surface area and the area of the bases:
Total Surface Area = Curved Surface Area + Area of both circular bases
= 220 cm² + 38.5 cm²
= 258.5 cm² (approximately)
Therefore, the total surface area of the closed cylinder is approximately 258.5 cm².
The formula for the total surface area of a closed cylinder is:
A = 2πrh + 2πr^2
where
r = radius of the base
h = height of the cylinder
Substituting the given values, we get:
A = 2π(7/2)(5) + 2π(7/2)^2
A = 35π/2 + 49π/2 [Using n=1/7, we can write 2π as 2(22/7)=(44/7)]
A = 84π/2
A = 42π cm^2
Therefore, the total surface area of the closed cylinder is 42π cm^2.
