Which equation can be used to find the surface area of the cylinder?

A cylinder with a diameter of 6 centimeters and height of 14 centimeters.
S = 2 pi (14) squared + 2 pi (14) (6)
S = 2 (3) squared + 2 (3) (14)
S = 2 pi (6) squared + 2 pi (6) (14)
S = 2 pi (3) squared + 2 pi (3) (14)

Answer:

S = 2 pi (3) squared + 2 pi (3) (14)

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is ...

A = πr²

The cylinder has two circular bases with radius 3 cm, so their combined area in square centimeters is ...

A = 2π(3²) . . . . . . matches a term in the last choice

__

The lateral area of the cylinder is the product of the height and the circumference of the base. That is ...

A = 2πrh

For the given radius and height, the lateral area in square centimeters is ...

A = 2π(3)(14) . . . . . . matches a term in the last choice

__

The total surface area is the sum of the areas of the bases and the lateral area, so is ...

S = 2π(3²) +2π(3)(14) . . . . . matches the last choice

_____

Comment on answer choices

We could choose the correct answer based solely on the area of the bases of the cylinder.
