12. find the surface area of each figure to the nearest tenth.
a. show your work
b. what is a real-world example or use of surface area?

  12a. 471.2 cm²

  12b. 60 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A.

The surface area of each figure is the sum of the end area and the lateral area.

  cylinder

  S = (2)(πr²) +2πrh = 2πr(r +h)

  S = 2π(5 cm)(5 cm +10 cm) =150π cm² ≈ 471.2 cm²

__

  triangular prism

  S = (2)(1/2)bh + PL . . . . b=triangle base; h=triangle height; P=triangle perimeter; L=length of prism

  S = (4 m)(1.5 m) + ((4 + 2·2.5) m)(6 m) = (6 + 54) m² = 60 m²

Part B.

Surface area is useful in the real world wherever products are made from sheets of material or wherever coverings are applied.

Carpeting or other flooring, paint, wallpaper are all priced in terms of the area they cover, for example.

The amount of material used to make containers in the shapes shown will depend on the area of these containers (and any material required for seams).
