Use $\pi \approx 3.14$ and round your an $\square$
square millim
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the formula for the surface area of a cylinder
The surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[ A = 2\pi r (r + h) \]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.
Step 2: Substitute the given values into the formula
Given:
Radius \( r = 6 \) mm
Height \( h = 6 \) mm
\( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Substitute these values into the formula:
\[ A = 2 \times 3.14 \times 6 \times (6 + 6) \]
Step 3: Perform the calculations
First, calculate the sum inside the parentheses:
\[ 6 + 6 = 12 \]
