Answer:

The figure obtained is a cylinder

The exact surface area is 1440π.

Explanation:

* Lets study the rotation of a rectangle around one of its sides

- If the dimensions of the rectangle are length (L) and width (W)

- If we rotate the rectangle around its length (L), we will construct

a cylinder with radius = W and height = L

- If we rotate the rectangle around its width (w), we will construct

a cylinder with radius = L and height = W

∵ The surface area of any cylinder =

perimeter of base × height + 2 base area

∵ The base is a circle

∴ perimeter base = 2πr and base area = πr²

∴ The surface area = 2πrh + 2πr²

* In first case:

- Surface area = 2π(W)L + 2π(w)² = 2πWL + 2πW²

* In second case:

- Surface area = 2π(L)W + 2π(L)² = 2πLW + 2πL²

* Now lats check our question:

∵ L = 22 and W = 18

- It will rotate around the largest side

∴ It will rotate around L

∴ The figure obtained is a cylinder

* From the explanation above this is the first case

∵ L = 22 and W = 18

∵ The surface area = 2πWL + 2πW²

∴ The surface area = 2 × 18 × 22 × π + 2 × (18)² × π

= 792π + 648π = 1440π

* The exact surface area is 1440π.
