Sure — looks like you included the base. Work:

- radius r = diameter/2 = 14/2 = 7 in
- lateral area = π r l = 3.14 × 7 × 20 = 3.14 × 140 = 439.60 in²
- base area = π r² = 3.14 × 7² = 3.14 × 49 = 153.86 in²
- total surface area = 439.60 + 153.86 = 593.46 in²

So the surface area is 593.46 in² (to the nearest hundredth).
