Question

Find the lateral surface 14ft area of the 2ft cylinder. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

616 square feet

Explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cylinder can be determined by;

Lateral surface area = 2
`\pi`rh

where: r is its radius, and h is its height.

Given in the question that the height of the cylinder is 14 feet and of radius 2 feet, then;

Lateral surface area = 2
`\pi`rh

= 2 x
`(22)/(7)` x 2 x 14

= 2 x 22 x 2 x 7

= 616

Lateral surface area = 616 square feet

Thus, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 616 square feet.
