The stick measures 6 inches with 1 inch of stick material remaining outside the Popsicle. What is the surface area of this cylindrical Popsicle? Round to the nearest tenth of a square inch and enter only the number.

@jackthegreatest

3. jackthegreatest

the top and the bottom added together is 32

4. jackthegreatest

the hypotenuse of the bottom square is 4 square root 2

5. jackthegreatest

again use the Pythagorean theorem

6. jackthegreatest

the stick is 6 inches again as well

7. jackthegreatest

so plug that in for c

8. jackthegreatest

and use 4 square root 2 for a

9. anonymous

so 2^2+B^2=6^2?

10. anonymous

5.65?

11. jackthegreatest

no, a is $4\sqrt{2}$

12. jackthegreatest

but i think there is a problem with the directions because that makes b= 2

13. jackthegreatest

but ill have to go with the height as 2 then

14. jackthegreatest

so r u able to find the answer just by knowing the height now?

15. anonymous

is it 2.4?

16. jackthegreatest

it can tell u right now that the surface area is 64 inches squared though
