the diagram show a closed structure in the shape of a half cylinder. the diameter of each base is 16 feet. the length of the structure is 50 feet. Find the surface area of the entire structure.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The surface area is [tex]SA=(800+464\pi)\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the half cylinder is equal to

[tex]SA=2B+PL[/tex]

where

B is the area of the half circle

P is the perimeter of the half circle plus the diameter of circle

L is the length of the structure

Find the area B

The area of the half circle is

[tex]B=\frac{1}{2} \pi r^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=16/2=8\ ft[/tex] -----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute

[tex]B=\frac{1}{2} \pi (8)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]B=32\pi\ ft^{2}[/tex]

Find the value of P (the perimeter of the half circle plus the diameter of circle)

[tex]P=\pi r+D[/tex]

we have

[tex]D=16\ ft[/tex]

[tex]r=8\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]P=\pi (8)+16[/tex]

[tex]P=(8\pi+16)\ ft[/tex]

Find the surface area

[tex]SA=2B+PL[/tex]

[tex]L=50\ ft[/tex]

substitute

[tex]SA=2(32\pi)+(8\pi+16)(50)[/tex]

[tex]SA=64\pi+400\pi+800[/tex]

[tex]SA=(800+464\pi)\ ft^{2}[/tex]
