Question

What is the surface area of a cylinder with base radius 3 and height 6?

Either enter an exact answer in terms of \piπpi or use 3.143.143, point, 14 for \piπpi and enter your answer as a decimal.

Answer 1

The surface area is : 54pi

Answer 2

The surface area of a cylinder is 169.56 square units.

Explanation:

We have,

Radius of base of cylinder is 3 and height of the cylinder is 6.

It is required to find the surface area of a cylinder. Its formula is given by :

`A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\\\\A=2\pi r(h+r)`

`A=2* 3.14* 3* (6+3)\\\\A=169.56\ \text{units}^2`

So, surface area of a cylinder is 169.56 square units.
