Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Write your formula
2. Plug it in
3. Solve
these steps will help you out with all of your surface area problems.
Like this
Since it is a diameter you have to divide the diameter by 2. That will get you your radius. Then you write your formula for a cylinder. Your formula is...
V = Bh (Pie is also known as 3.14)
your big (B) is (pie times r squared) Then you add your height.
so your formula will look like this...
V = pie times r squared...
the full formula will be...
V = (3.14) times (2.5 squared) times the height which in this case is (12)
everything together will be...
V = (3.14) (2.5^2) (12)
all you have to do is multiply all of that and you will get your answer.
The answer is...
V = 236 inches ^2 (Just a tip, the ^ sign means to the power of)
