Answer:
The lateral area is 392.5 sq. inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pipe is in a shape of a cylinder. The lateral area formula for a cylinder is:
Lateral Area = [tex]2\pi r h[/tex]
Where
r is the radius (half of diameter)
h is the height
Given, diameter = 5
so,
radius = 5/2 = 2.5
Also,
height = 25 inches (same as length, here)
Now we use 3.14 for [tex]\pi[/tex] and substitute the values to get the lateral area:
Lateral Area = [tex]2\pi r h = 2(3.14)(2.5)(25)=392.5[/tex]
The lateral area is 392.5 sq. inches.
