Derek is planning on covering an entire drum in leather. The diameter of the drum is 10 inches, and the height of the drum is 16 inches. What is the minimum amount of leather that Derek will need to cover the drum?

694.4 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a cylinder with:

diameter = d = 10 inches

heigth = h = 16 inches.

The total surface of a cylinder is equal to:

S = h*2*pi*(d/2) + 2*pi*(d/2)^2

we can replace the numbers and get:

S = 16*2*3.14*(10/2) + 2*3.14*(10/2)^2 = 659.4 inches squared

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does

a is the right answer
