5.4 <strong>Surface</strong> <strong>Area</strong> of a Cylinder<br />

cylinder<br />

• a 3-D object with 2 parallel and congruent circular bases<br />

Congruent means the<br />

exact same size.<br />

Working Example 1: Determine the <strong>Surface</strong> <strong>Area</strong> of a Right Cylinder<br />

cylinder<br />

a) Estimate the surface area of the can.<br />

11 cm<br />

Solution<br />

7.6 cm<br />

<strong>Surface</strong> area of can = area of 2 circles + area of 1 rectangle<br />

To estimate, use approximate values:<br />

d ≈ 8, so r = d ÷ 2<br />

7.6 cm 7.6 cm<br />

w = 11 cm<br />

≈<br />

l = circumference<br />

π ≈ 3<br />

w ≈ 10<br />

length of rectangle = circumference<br />

l = π × d<br />

<strong>Area</strong> of circle = π × r 2<br />

<strong>Area</strong> of rectangle = l × w<br />

C = π × d<br />

≈ 3 ×<br />

≈ 3 × ×<br />

≈<br />

2<br />

= circumference × w<br />

≈ (π × d) × w<br />

≈ 3 × 8 × 10<br />

≈ cm 2<br />

There are 2 circles: 2 × 48 =<br />

Estimated surface area ≈ area of 2 circles + area of 1 rectangle<br />

≈ +<br />

≈<br />

The estimated surface area is cm 2 .<br />
