Surface area is area you get from a shapes net.
A net is an unfolded 3d shape.
To find the surface area you use the equation
A= 2x \pi r h + 2 \pi r^(2)
For this cylinder, the answer would be around 659.73

Surface area is the area you get from a shape's net.


A net is an unfolded 3rd shape.


To find the surface area you use the equation A = 2xπrh + 2πr²


The answer would be 659.73 cm²




Hope this helps have a wonderful day!
