Real-World Surface Area of Cylinders: Sample FAST Questions

Students solve real-world problems involving the surface area of right circular cylinders, such as how much label paper wraps a soup can or how much paint covers a cylindrical tank. Many contexts use only part of the surface, so students first decide which faces actually count.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

FAST items are word problems answered through the equation editor. The judgment being tested is which surfaces to include: an open-top container has one base rather than two, and a wraparound label covers only the lateral surface.

Skills students need

  • Apply cylinder surface area to real-world containers
  • Decide which surfaces a given context actually includes
  • Solve problems involving open-top and closed cylinders
