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 and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

Given:

  • \( h = 3 \) yards
  • \( r = 2 \) yards
  • \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now, let's plug in the values:

  1. Calculate \( h + r \): \[ h + r = 3 + 2 = 5 \text{ yards} \]

  2. Calculate the surface area: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 5 \]

    First calculate \( 2 \times 2 \times 5 \): \[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \] \[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \]

    Now multiply by \( 2 \times 3.14 \): \[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]

    Now multiply \( 6.28 \) by \( 20 \): \[ 6.28 \times 20 = 125.6 \]

Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is \( 125.6 \) square yards.

Since none of the provided multiple-choice responses matches the correct surface area, there seems to be an error either in the options or in the given problem. Please double-check the options or the input values.

Let's re-evaluate the calculations for the surface area of the cylinder using the given options.

The formula for the surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is:

\[ A = 2\pi r(h + r) \]

Given:

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

First, calculate \( h + r \):

\[ h + r = 3 + 2 = 5 \text{ yards} \]

Now substitute the values into the surface area formula:

\[ A = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 5 \]

Calculating step by step:

  1. Calculate \( 2 \times 2 \): \[ 2 \times 2 = 4 \]
  2. Now multiply by \( 5 \): \[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \]
  3. Multiply by \( 2\pi \) (where \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)): \[ 2 \times 3.14 = 6.28 \]
  4. Now multiply \( 6.28 \) by \( 20 \): \[ 6.28 \times 20 = 125.6 \]

So, I calculated the surface area as \( 125.6 \) square yards, which does not align with the options provided.

Let's double-check the cylinder's surface area formula to ensure we're not missing anything. The full surface area \( A \) can also be calculated as:

\[ A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh \]

Where:

  • \( 2\pi r^2 \) is the area of the top and bottom circles,
  • \( 2\pi rh \) is the lateral surface area.

Calculating each part:

  1. Area of the top and bottom: \[ 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (2^2) = 2 \times 3.14 \times 4 = 25.12 \]

  2. Lateral surface area: \[ 2\pi rh = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 3 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 6 = 37.68 \]

Add both areas together:

\[ A = 25.12 + 37.68 = 62.8 \]

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

The correct option from the choices provided is:

62.8.
