what is the surface area of the capsule? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

a.
6.28 in2
b.
3.14 in2
c.
3.93 in2
d.
7.85 in2


Sagot :

The surface area of the capsule is 2.36in^2.

We have given that,

diameter=0.5 inches

radius=dimeter/2=0.5/2=0.25

[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]

What is the formula for the surface area?

Surface area=2(curved surface area of the hemisphere)+curved surface area of the cylinder.

[tex]=2(2\pi r^{2})+2\pi rh\\ =4\pi r^{2}+2\pi rh\\=4(3.14)(0.25)^2+2(3.14)(0.25)(1)\\=0.785+1.57\\=2.36[/tex]

Therefore the surface area of the capsule is 2.36in^2.
