Answer:

= 40.5π square inches

Explanation:

Oatmeal is packaged in a right circular cylindrical container that has a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 12 inches. What is the surface area of this container in terms of π?

The formula for the surface Area of a cylinder = 2πr( r + h)

r = 1.5 inches

h = 12 inches

Hence,

2 × π × 1.5( 1.5 + 12)

3π(13.5)

= 40.5π square inches

The surface area of the cylinder is

= 40.5π square inches
