A cylinder is labeled with a height of 3 yards and a radius of 2 yards. Find the surface area of the cylinder. Use the approximation of 3.14 for pi, without considering Lateral Surface Area.

Answer 1

The surface area of a cylinder consists of three parts: the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder with height h and radius r is:

Surface Area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh

Given that the height is 3 yards and the radius is 2 yards, we can plug in these values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2(3.14)(2)^2 + 2(3.14)(2)(3)
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(4) + 2(3.14)(6)
Surface Area = 25.12 + 37.68
Surface Area = 62.8

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 62.8 square yards.
