Question

A cylinder has a height of 44.5 inches and a radius of 22.8 inches. Which of the following measurements is closest to the lateral surface area of the cylinder in square inches? F 6,374.9 in.2 G 145,274.5 in.? H 3,185.8 in. ? J 2,029.2 in.2 2.

Answer 1

We have the following:

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is as follows

$LSA=2\cdot\pi\cdot r\cdot h$

replacing:

$\begin{gathered} LSA=2\cdot3.14\cdot22.8\cdot44.5 \\ LSA=6371.7 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the answer is F 6374.9 in ^ 2
