Question

find the surface area of the cylinder with a radius of 7 yd. and a height of 8 yd. Use the approximation 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula:

Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)

Using the given values, we can substitute them into the formula:

Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 7(7 + 8)
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 7(15)
Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 105
Surface Area = 6.28 * 105
Surface Area ≈ 659.88 square yards

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 659.88 square yards.
