5. EXAMPLE The surface area of a right circular cylinder is given by the polynomial 2  rh + 2  r 2 where h is the height and r is the radius of the base. A barn silo has a height of 50 feet and a radius of 9 feet. Approximate its surface area. Solution We evaluate the polynomial for h = 50 ft and r = 9 ft. If 3.14 is used to approximate , we have h r 4.7 Operations with Polynomials in Several Variables a Evaluate a polynomial in several variables for given values of the variables.
