It seems there is an inconsistency in the measurements you provided for the right circular cone. The height of the cone is stated as 7 cm, while the slant height is given as 8 cm and the radius as 17 cm.

In a right circular cone, the relationship between the radius (r), height (h), and slant height (l) is described by the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
l^2 = h^2 + r^2
\]

Let's check if these values are consistent:

1. Given:
- Height (h) = 7 cm
- Radius (r) = 17 cm
- Slant height (l) = 8 cm

2. Applying the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
l^2 = h^2 + r^2
\]
\[
8^2 = 7^2 + 17^2
\]
\[
64 = 49 + 289
\]
\[
64 = 338
\]

Since \(64\) does not equal \(338\), there is a contradiction in the provided dimensions.

Could you please double-check the measurements for the cone?

Given the answer choices you provided and the context of the problem, it seems you want to find the correct height of the cone. However, if we evaluate the provided dimensions again:

- Height = 7 cm
- Radius = 17 cm
- Slant Height = 8 cm

As we previously established, the relationship between the radius, height, and slant height does not hold with the dimensions you provided.

None of the choices seem to resolve this as the correct height is already stated as 7 cm in your initial problem. Thus, from the answer choices you provided, the answer would be:

- **7 cm**

To find the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh
\]

Where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height.

Given:
- Radius \( r = 8 \) ft
- Height \( h = 2 \) ft
- Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now, let's calculate each part:

1. **Calculate the area of the top and bottom circles:**

\[
2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (8^2) = 2 \times 3.14 \times 64 = 2 \times 200.96 = 401.92
\]

2. **Calculate the area of the side (lateral surface area):**

\[
2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 8 \times 2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 16 = 6.28 \times 16 = 100.48
\]

3. **Total Surface Area:**

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 401.92 + 100.48 = 502.4
\]

Now rounding to the nearest tenth, the surface area is **502.4** square feet.

Based on the answer choices you provided, the correct answer is:

- **502.4**
