Use a formula to find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest whole unit. 12 ft to the middle, 20 ft to the side drawing not to scale (1 point) 1,206ft^2 2,413ft^2 1,960ft^2 1,659ft^2
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given:
Radius (r) = 12 ft
Height (h) = 20 ft
Plug the values into the formula:
Surface area = 2π(12)(20) + 2π(12)^2
Surface area = 480π + 288π
Surface area = 768π
Using 3.14 as an approximation for π:
Surface area ≈ 768(3.14)
Surface area ≈ 2,408.32 ft^2
Rounded to the nearest whole unit, the surface area of the cylinder is 2,408 ft^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2,413ft^2.
