Determine the area of the LATERAL SIDE of this cylinder. (Use 3.14 for π.)
2 cm on top and 15 cm on the side
A. 3.14 square centimeters
B. 6.28 square centimeters
C. 94.20 square centimeters
D. 100.48 square centimeters
To determine the lateral area of a cylinder, you need to multiply the height of the cylinder by the circumference of the base.
Circumference of the base = 2πr = 2(3.14)(1) = 6.28 cm
Lateral area = height x circumference of the base
Lateral area = 15 cm x 6.28 cm
Lateral area = 94.20 square centimeters
Therefore, the lateral area of the cylinder is 94.20 square centimeters.
C. 94.20 square centimeters
no wrong answer please
My apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the calculation:
Lateral area = height x circumference of the base
Lateral area = 15 cm x 2 cm x 3.14
Lateral area = 30 cm x 3.14
Lateral area = 94.20 square centimeters
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 94.20 square centimeters
