A theme park has a ride that is located in a cylinder with a height of 11 yards.The ride goes around the outside of the cylinder, which has a circumference of 513.88 yards. What is the surface area of the cylinder? Estimate to the nearest hundredth, using 3.14. Apply the formula for surface area of a cylinder SA=2B+Ph

Answer:

To calculate the surface area of the cylinder, we need to find the area of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = 2πr

where C is the circumference and r is the radius. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the radius:

r = C/2π = 513.88/(2 x 3.14) = 81.91 yards

The formula for the area of a circle is:

A = πr^2

where A is the area and r is the radius. We can use this formula to find the area of one of the circular bases:

B = πr^2 = 3.14 x 81.91^2 = 21,237.93 square yards

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is:

P x h

where P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height. We can use the formula for the circumference to find the perimeter of the base:

P = C = 513.88 yards

Now we can calculate the lateral surface area:

L = P x h = 513.88 x 11 = 5,652.68 square yards

Finally, we can use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder:

SA = 2B + L = 2(21,237.93) + 5,652.68 = 48,128.54 square yards

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 48,128.54 square yards when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
