*** PLEASE HELP ASAP

two cylinders have the same size base, but one is twice as tall. explain why the taller cylinder does not have double the surface area.​

Answer:

The top isn't closed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom is enclosed, creating more surface area, but the top is opened.

Answer:

The surface area of a cylinder is given by :

SA=[tex]2 \pi rh+2\pi r^{2}[/tex]

When the base is same but the height is doubled. Doubling the height replaces h with 2h:

New formula becomes:

SA=[tex]2 \pi r(2h)+2\pi r^{2}[/tex]

SA = [tex]4\pi rh+2\pi r^{2}[/tex]

We can see that only the height is doubled not the radius. The formula changes a little bit.

We can take an example-

Lets say the height of cylinder is 10 cm and radius is 4 cm

So, SA in 1st case :

SA=[tex]2\times3.14\times4\times10+ 2\times3.14\times (4)^{2}[/tex]

=[tex]251.2+100.48=351.68[/tex] cm square

SA in 2nd case:

[tex]4\times3.14\times4\times10+ 2\times3.14\times(4)^{2}[/tex]

= [tex]502.4+100.48=602.88[/tex] cm square

We can see that area of lateral surface doubles up in case 2 but the base area remains the same.
