The lateral area of a cylinder is calculated with the following formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=2\pi rh \\ \text{Area}=2(3.14)(9)(7) \\ \text{Area}=395.64ft^2\text{ (to the nearest hundredth)} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Please note that the formula for the lateral area is quite different from the formula for the surface area.
