Use the properties of exponents to determine the value of a for the equation:

   You need to do 1x to the 3rd power and then do the x with the division sign on a calculator. After those two steps divide the answer for 1x to the 3rd power by the x with the division sign. Then the answer that you get will most likely be the answer for a.

for this case we have that by definition, the surface area of a cylinder is given by:

where:

r: it is the radius of the cylinder

h: it is the height of the cylinder

we can also rewrite it as:

where:

la: it's the lateral area

ba: area of the base

option a
