Area of two parallel bases (top and bottom circles of the cylinder:
= 2 (π r²)
Area of rectangle (lateral surface area): height × circumferences
of the base:
= h (2 π r)
ADD THE AREAS:
Area (Surface) of the right circular cylinder:
= 2 π r² + h(2 π r)
Given:
Radius = 8 inches
Height (Diameter) = 2 (8 inches) = 16 inches
π (pi) = 3.14
Solution:
Area = 2π (8 inches)² + 16 inches (2π) (8 inches)
= 2π (64 inches²) + 16 inches (16 π inches)
= 128 π inches² + 256 π inches²
= 384 inches² (3.14)
= 1,205.76 inches²
ANSWER: The area is 1,205.76 inches²
