circle  with    a   radius  r   is  πr^2 .  The area    of  the circular    base    is  36π.    If  the radius  of  the circular
base is r, then πr^2 = 36π, r^2 = 36, and r = 6. You now have the radius. The diameter is 2(6) = 12.
Let’s call the height of the right circular cylinder h and draw a picture.

The greatest    possible    distance    between two points  on  the surface of  the right   circular
cylinder is the distance between points P and R. Use the Pythagorean theorem in right
triangle PQR to find the height h.

The volume  of  the right   circular    cylinder    is  πr^2 h  =   π(6^2 )(7)  =   π(36)(7)    =   252π.

Find a first. a + 2a + 156 = 180, 3 a + 156 = 180, 3 a = 24, and a = 8. Now use the law of sines.


. Then YZ ≈ 140.3.

The perimeter   of  any polygon is  the sum of  the lengths of  its sides.  Since   points  S   and V   have
the same y-coordinate of 2, SV is parallel to the x-axis. The length of SV is the positive
difference of the x-coordinates of points V and S. The length of SV is 7 − 3 = 4 . Opposite sides
of a parallelogram are equal, so the length of TU is also 4. ST and UV are opposite sides of
parallelogram STUV, so ST and UV also have equal lengths. The perimeter of the
parallelogram is 2(4) + 2(ST). So 2(4) + 2(ST) = 14, 8 + 2(ST) = 14, 2(ST) = 6 , and ST = 3. Drop a
perpendicular line from point T to SV that meets side SV at point P.
