To find the surface area of a cylinder, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r(h + r) \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height.
Given:
- \( r = 4 \) cm,
- \( h = 2 \) cm,
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).
Now substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times (2 + 4) \]
Calculating the height plus radius:
\[ h + r = 2 + 4 = 6 \]
Now substitute this back into the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \]
Calculating step by step:
- \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \)
- \( 6.28 \times 4 = 25.12 \)
- \( 25.12 \times 6 = 150.72 \)
Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is:
\[ \text{Surface Area} \approx 150.72 , \text{cm}^2 \]
So, the surface area of the cylinder is 150.72 cm².
