find the surface area of the cylinder with a radius of 2 yd. and a height of 3 yd. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi
The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh
Given the radius (r) as 2 yards and the height (h) as 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 = 25.12 + 37.68
Surface Area ≈ 62.8 square yards
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 62.8 square yards.
