Martha has a soup can in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 11 cm and radius of 4 cm. What is the surface area of the can? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest tenth
The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2πrh + 2πr^2
Where:
r = radius = 4 cm
h = height = 11 cm
π = 3.14
Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(4)(11) + 2(3.14)(4)^2
Surface Area = 88.44 + 100.48
Surface Area ≈ 188.9 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the soup can is approximately 188.9 cm².
