What is the surface area of a cylinder with height 3 yd and radius 8 yd? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given by:
SA = 2πr(r + h)
Given that the radius (r) is 8 yd and the height (h) is 3 yd, we can substitute these values into the formula:
SA = 2π(8)(8 + 3)
SA = 2π(8)(11)
SA = 2π(88)
SA = 176π
Now, we will calculate the surface area approximately:
SA ≈ 176 * 3.14159
SA ≈ 552.77
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 552.77 square yards.
