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

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

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height.

Given:

  • Radius (\( r \)) = 25 inches
  • Height (\( h \)) = 40 inches

Now, we can plug in the values:

  1. Calculate the area of the two circular bases:

\[ 2\pi r^2 = 2\pi (25^2) = 2\pi (625) = 1250\pi \]

  1. Calculate the area of the side (the lateral surface area):

\[ 2\pi rh = 2\pi (25)(40) = 2000\pi \]

  1. Add these two areas together:

\[ \text{Total Surface Area} = 1250\pi + 2000\pi = 3250\pi \]

Now, we round this to the nearest whole number after calculating \( 3250\pi \):

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ 3250 \cdot 3.14 \approx 10295 \]

Now, rounding to the nearest whole number gives \( 10295 \).

Among the answer choices provided, the closest is 10210.

Thus, the final answer is:

10210.
