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 square inch.

Respuesta :

Each candle has a surface area of 150 square inches.

How to get the surface area of the candle?

For a cylinder of radius r and height h, the surface area is:

[tex]S = 2*(pi*r^2) + 2*pi*r*h[/tex]

Where pi = 3.14

In this case, we know that:

r = 3 in

h = 5 in.

Replacing that in the surface area equation we get:

[tex]S = 2*(3.14*(3in)^2) + 2*3.14*3in*5in = 150 in^2[/tex]

So each candle has a surface area of 150 square inches.
