He estimated pi to 5 decimal places. This estimate was mentioned in Al-Khwarizmi's book on algebra and through that route the estimate arrived in Europe.
You have to calculate the radius - half the diameter. Then square the radius, and multiply by pi (approximately 3.1416). If you want to do a mental estimate, round pi to 3.
Total surface area is about 282.74 units2 (90 pi)(Using pi = 3.14 gives the estimate 282.6)SA = (pi 2r) x h + 2 (pi r2) = 72 pi + 2 (9 pi) = 90 pi
The area is 2*pi*12 = 2*pi. Using pi = 3.14, that would give an estimated area of 3.14 cm2.
