Answer: Monique's error is likely due to rounding the surface area to two decimal places, which led to an inaccurate result.
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
S = 2πr^2 + 2πrh
where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder, h is the height of the cylinder, and π is approximately 3.14.
To find the correct surface area, we need to know the values of r and h. Without this information, we cannot calculate the exact surface area.
However, we can use Monique's estimate to estimate the values of r and h.
1001.66 = 2πr^2 + 2πrh
Dividing both sides by 2π, we get:
500.83 = r^2 + rh
We don't know the exact values of r and h, but we know that the surface area should be greater than 1001.66 square feet. Therefore, we can assume that the radius and height must be greater than a certain value.
For example, if we assume that the radius is at least 5 feet, we can solve for the minimum value of h:
500.83 = 5^2 + 5h
495.83 = 5h
h = 99.166
So if the radius is 5 feet and the height is 99.166 feet, the surface area would be:
S = 2π(5^2) + 2π(5)(99.166)
S = 1570.8 square feet
This is greater than Monique's estimate of 1001.66 square feet, indicating that her estimate was too low due to rounding.
