Find the surface area of the cylinder to the nearest whole number. The figure is not drawn to scale.
To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to add the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.
Given:
Radius of the cylinder (r) = 5 cm
Height of the cylinder (h) = 8 cm
The formula to calculate the surface area of a cylinder is given by:
Surface Area = 2πr(r+h)
Substitute the given values:
Surface Area = 2 * π * 5(5+8)
Surface Area = 2 * π * 5 * 13
Surface Area ≈ 406 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 406 cm².
