Consider a cylinder with radius 6 cm and a height of 11.5 cm. Describe how to calculate the surface area of the given cylinder and what the surface area means.
Surface area is area you get from a shapes net. A net is an unfolded 3d shape. To find the surface area you use the equation [tex]A= 2x \pi r h + 2 \pi r^{2} [/tex] For this cylinder, the answer would be around 659.73
