Which of the following formulas would find the Lateral Area of a right cylinder where h is the height, and r i?

Which of the following formulas would find the Lateral Area of a right cylinder where h is the height, and r is the radius?

A. LA = 2rh
B. LA = 2r2
C. LA = 2r
D. LA = rh

Hi, the answer is none of them, since the correct formula is LA = 2Pi*r*h (it is obtained multiplying the length of the base circumference, 2Pi*r, with the height of the cylinder).
I hope this helped you. Bye!
