Answer:

[tex]A=135.82u^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the lateral area of a cylinder is:

[tex]A=h*c[/tex]

where h is the height of the cylinder, and c is the circumference (perimeter) of the circular base:

[tex]c=2\pi r[/tex] where r is the radius

To calculate the circumference we need the radius of the circle, which we can calculate because we know that the area the circle is:

[tex]367u^2[/tex],

substituting this in the formula for the area of a circle:

[tex]A_{c}=\pi r^2[/tex]

[tex]367u^2=\pi r^2[/tex]

and solving for the radius:

[tex]\frac{367u^2}{\pi}=r^2\\\\\sqrt{\frac{367u^2}{\pi } }=r\\\\\sqrt{\frac{367u^2}{3.1416} }=r\\\\10.808u=r[/tex]

now that we know the radius, we calculate the circumference:

[tex]c=2\pi r\\c=2\pi (10.808u)\\c=67.91u[/tex]

and finally we go back to the formula for the lateral area:

[tex]A=h*c[/tex]

and substitute the height: [tex]h=2u[/tex] and the circumference:

[tex]A=(2u)(67.91)\\A=135.82u^2[/tex]
