A circle with a 12 inch diameter is folded in half and then folded in on half again. what is the area of the resulting shape

616 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of a cylinder can be determined by;

Lateral surface area = 2rh

where: r is its radius, and h is its height.

Given in the question that the height of the cylinder is 14 feet and of radius 2 feet, then;

Lateral surface area = 2rh

                         = 2 x x 2 x 14

                         = 2 x 22 x 2 x 7

                         = 616

Lateral surface area = 616 square feet

Thus, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 616 square feet.
