A maple syrup company is making a new label for its barrels of syrup. If the barrels are 5 feet tall and have a radius of 2 feet, what is the area of the label the company needs? (Use 3.14 for .) A. 62.8 sq ft B. 314 sq ft C. 10 sq ft D. 219.8 sq ft

Respuesta :

Answer:

(A)62.8 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the barrels = 5 feet

Radius of the barrels= 2 feet

[tex]\pi[/tex]=3.14

The barrel is in the shape of a cylinder and the area of the label the company needs is that of the round sides(curved surface area) of the cylinder.

Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder=[tex]2\pi rh[/tex]

=2X3.14X2X5

=62.8 square feet

The company need 62.8 square feet of label.
