Clayton wants to make a cylindrical case that will fit a bass drum with a height of 14 inches and a diameter of 24 inches. With is the surface area of the case? Use 3.14 / pi

1. You can solve this problem and calculate the surface area of the case, by applying the formula for calculate the surface area of a cylinder, which is:

A=2πr²+2πrh

"A" is the surface area of the cylinder.

"r" is the radius.

"h" is the height of the cylinder (h=14 inches).

2. You need to calculate the radius. So, you have:

r=Diameter/2

r=24 inches/2

r=12 inches.

3. You already have the height and the radius, so you can substitute these values into the formula (A=2πr²+2πrh) for calculate the surface area of the case:

A=2πr²+2πrh

A=2 (3.14) (12 inches) ²+2 (3.14) (12 inches) (14 inches)

A=904.32 inches²+1055.04 inches²

A=1959.36 inches²
