The lateral area of a cylinder is:
[tex]LA=2\pi rh[/tex]
r is the radius
h is the height
For the given cylinder:
As the diameter is 4m, the radius is half of the diameter:
[tex]r=\frac{4m}{2}=2m[/tex]
h=12m
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=2\pi(2m)(12m) \\ SA=48\pi m^2 \\ SA\approx151m^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the lateral area of the given cylinder is 151 square meters
