Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 in and a height of 10 in. use the approximation 3.14 for pi
A. 471 square inches
B. 471 inches
C. 314 square inches
D. 345.4 square inches
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is 2πr^2 + 2πrh. Given that the radius is 5 inches and the height is 10 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula.
Surface area = 2(3.14)(5^2) + 2(3.14)(5)(10)
Surface area = 2(3.14)(25) + 2(3.14)(5)(10)
Surface area = 2(78.5) + 2(157)
Surface area = 157 + 314
Surface area = 471 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches.
