Avg difficulty 2.5

Determine the function described and then use it to answer the question.

The surface area, A, A , of a cylinder in terms of its radius, r, r , and height, h, h , is given by A=2π r 2 +2πrh. A = 2 \pi r^{2} + 2 \pi r h . If the height of the cylinder is 4 feet, express the radius as a function of A A and find the radius if the surface area is 200 square feet.
