Answer:
1385[tex]in^{2} [/tex]
Solution:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What we know:
"The tube is 24.5 inches tall and has a radius of 7 inches".
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We are going to be using the surface are formula to solve this problem:
[tex]A= 2\pi r^{2} + 2\pi r h[/tex]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We will then input the numbers in our formula:
A= 2\pi 7^{2} + 2\pi (7) (24.5) = 1385.44
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We would need to round to the nearest whole number:
1385
Hence, our answer would be 1385.
