A cylinder has a base area of 20.7 in2 and a lateral area of 25.3 in2. What is the surface area of the cylinder? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest tenth, if needed.

Respuesta :

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must apply the following formula for calculate the surface area of a cylinder:

[tex] SA=L+2B [/tex]

Where [tex] L [/tex] is the lateral area and [tex] B [/tex] is the area of the base.

2. Therefore, when you substitute values into the formula, you obtain:

[tex] SA=25.3in^{2} +2(20.7in^{2})\\ SA=66.7 in^{2} [/tex]

The answer is: [tex] 66.7 in^{2} [/tex]
