Find the surface area of the cylinder, find the surface area of the cylinder, 2 yards and 3 yards

To find the surface area of a cylinder, you need to calculate the area of the two circular bases and the curved surface area.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh

Given that the radius (r) is 2 yards and the height (h) is 3 yards, we can plug these values into the formula to find the surface area.

The area of the circular bases:
Base area = πr^2 = π(2^2) = 4π

The curved surface area:
Curved surface area = 2πrh = 2π(2)(3) = 12π

Now we can calculate the total surface area:
Surface Area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh = 2(4π) + 12π = 8π + 12π = 20π

The surface area of the cylinder is 20π square yards.
