Question

Find the lateral surface area of the pipe in square meters

Answer 1

287.64 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The tube is in the shape of a cylinder with dimensions:

• Diameter=8.4 meters

,

• Height = 10.9 meters

The lateral surface area of any cylinder is obtained using the formula:

`\text{Lateral Area}=2\pi rh^{}`

First, recall that:

`\text{Diamter}=2r`

Therefore:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Lateral Area}=2r*\pi* h^{} \\ =8.4*\pi*10.9 \\ =287.64\; m^2 \end{gathered}`

The lateral surface area of the pipe is 287.64 square meters (correct to the nearest hundredth).
