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:

  1. \( 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \)
  2. \( 6.28 \times 4 = 25.12 \)
  3. \( 25.12 \times 6 = 150.72 \)

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.
