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:

  • Radius \( r = 2 \) yards,
  • Height \( h = 3 \) yards,
  • Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).

Now substitute \( r \) and \( h \) into the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2(3 + 2) \]

Calculating \( (h + r) \):

\[ 3 + 2 = 5 \]

Now substituting back:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 5 \]

Calculating step by step:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]

\[ 6.28 \times 2 = 12.56 \]

\[ 12.56 \times 5 = 62.8 \]

Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is 62.8 square yards.

So the correct response is: 62.8
