Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 2 yds and a height of 3yds. Use the approximation of 3.14 for pi.(1 point)
The formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is given by:
Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh
where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given that the radius is 2 yards and the height is 3 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(2²) + 2(3.14)(2)(3)
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(4) + 2(3.14)(2)(3)
Surface Area = 6.28(4) + 6.28(6)
Surface Area = 25.12 + 37.68
Surface Area ≈ 62.8 square yards
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 62.8 square yards.
