Manuel incorrectly claimed that the surface area of the cylinder shown is about 190.0 in.2. Use a formula to find the surface area of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for π. What was his likely​ error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

25.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: you did not provide any attached image detailing the dimension of the cylinder however, let us arrange some dimension for explanation purpose

let the dimension of the cylinder be

radius= 3in

height= 5 in

Step two

The expression for the total surface area of a cylinder is

T. S. A. =2πrh+2πr2

substitute

T. S. A. =2*3.142*3*5+2*3.142*3^2

T. S. A. =94.26+56.556

T. S. A. =150.816 in^2

Now let us find the error

%error= actual -expected/expected*100

%error= 190 -150.816/150.816*100

%error= 39.184/150.816*100

%error= 0.259*100

%error= 25.9%

Now, you can use the dimension you have for the cylinder to calculate the total surface area, from there, you can solve for the error by following the steps above
