The radius of the base of a cylinder is 3 cm and its height is 8 cm. What is the surface area of the cylinder in terms of `\pi` AND to the nearest square cm?

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

it can increase the size of the tip you would spend, since it's adding to the money you'd already have to pay.
