Problema Solution

A tin man has a head that is a cylinder with a cone on top. The height of the cylinder is 12 inches and the slant height of the cone is 6 inches. The radius of both the cylinder and the cone is 4 inches. What is the surface area of the tin man's head in terms of pi?

Answer provided by our tutors

the surface area of the tin man's head = the surface of the cylinder without the bases + the surface of the cylinder without base


A = 2 r pi H + (1/2) 2 r pi * h


r = 4 in the radius of both the cylinder and the cone


H = 12 in the height of the cylinder


h = 6 in the slant height of the cone


A = 2*4*pi*12 + (1/2)*2*4*pi*6


A = 96pi + 24pi


A = 120pi in^2


the surface area of the tin man's head in terms of pi is 120pi in^2.
