Working Example 2: Use the <strong>Surface</strong> <strong>Area</strong> of a Cylinder<br />
Find the surface area of the totem pole.<br />
Include the area of the 2 circular bases.<br />
The pole is 2.4 m tall and has a diameter of 0.75 m.<br />
Give your answer to the nearest hundredth of a square metre (2 decimal places).<br />
Solution<br />
Draw a diagram and label the dimensions.<br />
d = r = d ÷ 2 h =<br />
= ÷ 2<br />
=<br />
0.75 m<br />
2.4 m<br />
The cylinder has 2 circular bases.<br />
The area of 1 circle = π × r 2<br />
= 3.14 ×<br />
= m 2<br />
<strong>Area</strong> of 2 circles = 2 × 0.4415625<br />
2<br />
0.75 m<br />
= m 2<br />
The side of the cylinder is a rectangle.<br />
<strong>Area</strong> of rectangle = (π × d) × h<br />
≈ 3.14 × ×<br />
≈ m 2<br />
l = π d<br />
h = 2.4 m<br />
A = _____<br />
A = _____<br />
A = _____<br />
S.A. = area of 2 circles + area of 1 rectangle<br />
= +<br />
=<br />
Round your answer to<br />
the nearest hundredth<br />
(2 decimal places.)<br />
The total surface area is approximately m 2 .<br />
