Problema Solution

Find the surface area the log with semi circle of 14cm diameter and length of 56cm.

Answer provided by our tutors

we will consider the log to be a cylinder with


r = 14/2 = 7cm radius of the base


h = 56cm height of the cylinder = the length of the log


Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2*pi*r ^2 + 2*pi*r*h


Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2*pi*(r^2 +r*h)


Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2pi (7^2 + 7*56)


Surface Area of a Cylinder = 882pi cm^2


Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2769.48 cm^2


the surface area of the log is 2769.48 cm^2.
