A pencil has a cylinder body with a cone shaped end. The cylinder is 5cm long with radius of 0.29cm. The cone has a slant height of 1cm and has the same radius as the cylinder. Determine the surface area of the pencil to the nearest tenth of a square centimetre.

Surface area  of the cylindrical part of the pencil =

 

Area  of the non-conical end +  area of the cylinder "side"

 

pi*r^2   +  2 pi* r * length  =

 

pi * (0.29cm)^2  + 2pi *(0.29cm) * (5cm)  =  about 9.37 cm^2      (1)

 

Surface area of the conical part = pi * r * (slant height of cone)  =

 

pi (0.29cm)(1cm)  = about .911 cm^2      (2)

 

So.....the total surface area is the sum of (1)  and (2)  =   about 10.28 cm^2  = about 10.3 cm^2
