The Candle Factory is producing a new candle. It has a radius of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. What is the surface area of the candle? Use 3.14 for Pi. Round to the nearest whole cubic inch. A cylinder with a radius of 3 inches and height of 5 inches. Recall the formula S A = 2 pi r squared + 2 pi r h.

Step 1
The formula for the area of a circle is pi r squared. So, we have 2 * 3.14 * 3^2 = 56.52 square inches. Show more…

Calculate the height of a right circular cylinder with a surface area of 300 square inches and a radius of 5 inches to the nearest hundredth.
Jerelyn N.
The surface area A of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula A = 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height. Find the height of a right circular cylinder whose surface area is 56π square centimeters and whose radius is 4 centimeters. What is the height of the cylinder?
