It is impossible to provide a solution without the height of the cylinder. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula LSA = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Find the lateral surface area of the cylinder to the nearest whole
The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula LSA = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given:
Radius, r = 18 in
Side, h = 15 in

We know that the height of a cylinder is equal to its side (or height) and therefore, h = 15 in.

LSA = 2 x π x 18 in x 15 in
LSA = 1696.04 in^2 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is approximately 1696 in^2. Answer: B.
