Answer:

A. 84 pi feet^2

Explanation:

So the lateral area is the rectangular piece on the net

In order for it to be an actual cylinder the 2 circles are congruent

Therefore the radi, area, circumference ect.. are the same.

So the only missing measurement we need to find the lateral area is the length of the rectangular piece

If you visualize a cylinder, the rectangular piece goes around the perimeter/circumference of the circle

So that means that the length of the rectangle is the circumference of the circle

Circumference = 2*pi*r

2 * pi * 6

= 12 pi

Then 7*12 pi

=84 pi

So the lateral area is 84 pi
