To solve for the height of the cylinder, we can use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder:

Surface area = 2πrh + 2πr²

Given that the surface area is 1000cm² and the radius is 5cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:

1000 = 2π * 5 * h + 2π * 5²

Simplify the equation:

1000 = 10πh + 50π

Now, isolate the variable h:

1000 = 10πh + 50π
1000 = 10πh + 50π
1000 - 50π = 10πh
1000 - 50π / 10π = h
1000 - 5 = h
995 / 10π = h
99.5 / π = h

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is approximately 31.64 cm.
