Q. A cylindrical soda can has a volume of 108πcm3 and a height of 12cm. What is the surface area of the soda can in square centimeters?Choose 1 answer:(A) 18πcm2(B) 36πcm2(C) 72πcm2(D) 90πcm2
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and the formula for the volume of a cylinder.Volume of a cylinder V = πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.Given: V=108πcm3 and h=12cm.We need to find the radius r of the cylinder first.
Use Volume Formula: Use the volume formula to solve for the radius.108π=πr2(12)Divide both sides by π to simplify.108=r2(12)
Solve for Radius: Divide both sides by 12 to isolate r2.12108=r29=r2
Find Surface Area Formula: Take the square root of both sides to solve for r.9=r3cm=rNow we have the radius of the cylinder.
Substitute Values: Identify the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.Surface area SA=2πrh+2πr2, where SA is the surface area, r is the radius, and h is the height.We have r=3 cm and h=12 cm.
Combine Terms: Substitute the values of r and h into the surface area formula.SA=2π(3)(12)+2π(3)2SA=2π(36)+2π(9)SA=72π+18π
Combine Terms: Substitute the values of r and h into the surface area formula.SA=2π(3)(12)+2π(3)2SA=2π(36)+2π(9)SA=72π+18πCombine the terms to find the total surface area.SA=72π+18πSA=90πcm2The surface area of the soda can is 90π square centimeters.
