A cylinder has a radius of 8 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. A smaller cylinder has linear dimensions that are one-fourth the dimensions of the larger cylinder. Compare the surface area of the smaller cylinder to the surface area of the larger cylinder.

the surface area of the larger cylinder is 16 times that of the smaller cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the total surface area of a cylinder is expressed as

Total surface area = 2πr² + 2πrh

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

π is a constant

Considering the larger cylinder,

radius = 8 cm

Height = 12 cm

Therefore,

Total surface area = (2 × π × 8²) + (2 × π × 8 × 12)

= 128π + 192π = 320π

Considering the smaller cylinder,

Total surface area = 56π

radius = 8/4 = 2cm

Height = 12/4 = 3 cm

Therefore,

Total surface area = (2 × π × 2²) + (2 × π × 2 × 3)

= 8π + 12π = 20π

Ratio of the surface area of the larger cylinder to the smaller cylinder is

320π/20π = 16

282 6/7 cm^2
