Q. A covered water tank is in the shape of a cylinder. The tank has a 28-inch diameter and a height of 66 inches. To the nearest square inch, what is the surface area of the water tank?A. 1,848B. 7,037C. 16,537
Find Radius: First, find the radius of the cylinder by dividing the diameter by 2.Radius = 2Diameter = 228inches = 14inches.
Calculate Surface Area: Next, calculate the surface area of the cylinder. The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr(r+h).Surface Area = 2π×14 inches×(14 inches+66 inches).
Simplify Expression: Now, simplify the expression to find the surface area.Surface Area = 2×π×14 inches×80 inches.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to get the surface area.Surface Area = 2×3.14×14×80.Surface Area = 2×3.14×1120.Surface Area = 7033.6 square inches.
Round Surface Area: Round the surface area to the nearest square inch.Surface Area ≈7034 square inches.
