Use the drawing to explain the following theorem.“The total area of a right circular cylinder with base area B and lateral area L is given by.”

What will be an ideal response?


From the drawing, it is obvious that . But the lateral area is that of a rectangle whose length is the circumference C of a circle and whose altitude has length h. Thus,

  or , so . Each base is circular with radius length r and so each circle has the area .

By substitution, .
