Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh where r = radius and h = the height
So, we have the equation:
2πr^2 + 2πr*17 = 308
---> 2πr^2 + 34πr = 308
----> 2πr^2 + 34πr - 308 = 0
---> πr^2 + 17πr - 154
---> r = [-17π +/- √((17π)^2 - 4*π* -154)]/2π
= 2.51225, -19.51
We ignore the negative
so the radius r = 2.51 to the nearest hundredth.
