Answer:

The surface area = 120π units² ≅ 377 units²

The volume of the cylinder = 144π ≅ 452.4 units³

Explanation:

* When a rectangle is rotating around one of the axis, 360°

then, the formed figure is a cylinder withe height equal the

side which rotated over it and the radius is the other dimension

∵ RECT is rotated 360° about the y-axis

∴ It formed a cylinder with height = RE and radius = EC

- R = (0 , 3 , 6) , E = (0 , 7 , 6) , C = (0 , 3 , 0) , T = (0 , 7 , 0)

∴ The length of RE = 7 - 3 = 4 units ⇒ height of the cylinder

∴ The length of EC = 6 - 0 = 6 units ⇒ radius of the cylinder

* The surface area of the cylinder = lateral area + 2 × area of the base

∵ Lateral area = perimeter of the base × height

∵ The base is a circle with radius = 6 units

∴ The perimeter of the base = 2πr = 2π(6) = 12π units

∵ The length of the height is 4 units

∴ The lateral area = 12π × 4 = 48π units²

∴ The area of the base = πr² = π(6²) = 36π units²

∴ The surface area = 48π + 2 × 36π = 120π units² ≅ 377 units²

* The formula of the volume of the cylinder is area of the base × height

∵ Area of the base = 36π units²

∵ The height = 4 units

∴ The volume of the cylinder = 36π × 4 = 144π ≅ 452.4 units³
