What is the surface area of a cylinder with height 4 mi and radius 7 mi?


\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}


\textsf{Formula for Surface Area of a Cylinder:-}


\dashrightarrow\bigstar\boxed{\bold{A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2}}\dashleftarrow

Where


\bold{A=area}


\bold{\pi =pi\:(3.14...)}


\bold{r=radius}


\bold{h=height}

Given:-


\bold{r=4mi}


\bold{h=7\:mi}

Solving for Surface Area:-


\bf{A=2\pi (4)(7)+2\pi (4)^2}


\bf{A=2\pi (28)+2\pi (16)}

On further simplification,


\bf{A=56\pi +32\pi }

Now we just add the pi's together:-


\bf{A=88\pi }

And finally,


\dashrightarrow\bf{\underline{A=276.460\:mi^2}\dashleftarrow

Good luck.
