The table shows the dimensions of two cylinders.
Which cylinder has the smallest lateral surface area in square inches?
Responses
A Cylinder ACylinder A
B Cylinder BCylinder B
C Cylinders A and B have the same lateral surface area.Cylinders A and B have the same lateral surface area.
D Cylinders A and B are undefined.
B Cylinder B
The lateral surface area of a cylinder is calculated using the formula 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. Since Cylinder B has a smaller radius and height than Cylinder A, it has a smaller lateral surface area.
