Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
Formula for "S.A." (Surface area) of a cylinder
S.A.
= 2 \(\pi\) r² + 2\(\pi\) r h ;
_______________________________________
in which "r" = length of radius of circle at the end; and "h" = "height" ;
__________________________________________
Given: r = 2 m ; and h = 3 m ;
__________________________________________
We can "plug in" these given values; and solve for the "surface area" in terms of
"\(\pi\)" .
____________________________________________
S.A. = 2 \(\pi\) r² + 2\(\pi\) r h ;
= 2 \(\pi\) (2)² + 2 \(\pi\) (2) (3) ;
= 2 \(\pi\) (4) + 2 \(\pi\) * (6) ;
= (8 \(\pi\)) + (12) \(\pi\)
= 20 \(\pi\) m² .
