Find the surface area of the cylinder below. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi. The height is 15 and the diameter
628 centimeters
533.8 square centimeters
1,099 square centimeters
628 square centimeters
To find the surface area of the cylinder, we need to calculate the sum of the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface area.
The base of the cylinder is a circle, and the formula for the area of a circle is A = π * r^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter is given as 628 centimeters, so the radius is half of that, which is 314 centimeters.
The area of each base is A_base = 3.14 * (314)^2 = 3.14 * 98,596 = 309,133.44 square centimeters.
The lateral surface area of the cylinder is the area of the rectangle formed by rolling the curved surface of the cylinder. The height of the cylinder is given as 15 centimeters, and the circumference of the base (which is also the length of the rectangle) is given as 628 centimeters. So, the formula for the lateral surface area is A_lateral = height * circumference = 15 * 628 = 9,420 square centimeters.
The total surface area of the cylinder is then the sum of the two base areas and the lateral surface area: A_total = 2 * A_base + A_lateral = 2 * 309,133.44 + 9,420 = 627,686.88 square centimeters.
Since we were asked to use the approximation 3.14 for pi, we should round the answer to the nearest whole number, which gives us 628 square centimeters. So, the correct answer is 628 square centimeters.
Are you sure?
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculations.
The diameter of the cylinder is given as 628 centimeters, which means the radius is half of that, or 314 centimeters.
The area of each base can be calculated using the formula A = π * r^2:
A_base = 3.14 * (314)^2 = 3.14 * 98,596 = 309,133.44 square centimeters.
The lateral surface area of the cylinder is the product of the height and the circumference of the base:
circumference = π * diameter = 3.14 * 628 = 1,972.72 centimeters.
A_lateral = height * circumference = 15 * 1,972.72 = 29,590.8 square centimeters.
The total surface area is the sum of the two bases and the lateral surface area:
A_total = 2 * A_base + A_lateral = 2*309,133.44 + 29,590.8 = 647,857.68 square centimeters.
Since the question asks for the surface area to be rounded, we round the answer to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the correct surface area of the cylinder is 648 square centimeters.
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. The correct answer is 648 square centimeters.
To find the surface area of a cylinder, you need to sum the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.
First, let's find the area of the circular bases. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. In this case, you are given the diameter, which is twice the radius. So, divide the given diameter of 628 centimeters by 2 to find the radius: 628 / 2 = 314 centimeters.
Now that we have the radius, we can find the area of each circular base by plugging the radius into the formula. A = 3.14 * (314)^2 = 310,616.24 square centimeters.
Next, let's find the lateral surface area. The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is A = 2πrh, where A is the area, r is the radius, and h is the height. Multiply the given height of 15 centimeters by the radius of 314 centimeters, and then multiply that result by 2π (or approximately 6.28) to find the lateral surface area: 2 * 3.14 * 314 * 15 = 29,614.8 square centimeters.
Finally, add the areas of the two circular bases (310,616.24 square centimeters) to the lateral surface area (29,614.8 square centimeters) to get the total surface area of the cylinder: 310,616.24 + 29,614.8 = 340,231.04 square centimeters.
Therefore, the correct surface area of the given cylinder is 340,231.04 square centimeters. None of the provided answer choices match this calculation, so none of the given options are correct.
