To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to calculate the sum of the areas of the two bases and the lateral surface.
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh
Given that the radius of the cylinder is 7 yards and the height is 8 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula.
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(7^2) + 2(3.14)(7)(8)
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(49) + 2(3.14)(7)(8)
Surface Area = 2(153.86) + 2(175.84)
Surface Area = 307.72 + 351.68
Surface Area = 659.4
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 659.4 square yards. None of the provided options match this calculation, so none of them is the correct answer.
