A flower pot is approximately in the shape off a cylinder. The diameter is 10 inches and the height is 6 inches. Find the surface area off the flower pot round to the nearest inch

Answer :

The surface area of the cylindrical flower pot to the nearest inch is equal to [tex]346\;in^2[/tex]

Given the following data:

Diameter = 10 inches.

Height = 6 inches.

Radius = [tex]\frac{diameter}{2} =\frac{10}{2}[/tex] = 5 inches.

How to calculate surface area.

Mathematically, the surface area (SA) of a cylinder is given by this formula:

[tex]S.A = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2[/tex]

Where:

  • h is the height.
  • r is the radius.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]S.A = 2\pi (5)(6) + 2\pi (5)^2\\\\S.A =188.52+157.1 \\\\S.A = 345.62\\\\S.A=346\;in^2[/tex]
