To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to calculate the sum of the areas of the two circular bases and the lateral surface area.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh

Given that the diameter of the cylinder is 12 inches, we can find the radius (r) by dividing the diameter by 2.
r = 12/2 = 6 inches

Using the approximation of pi (π = 3.14), we can substitute the values into the formula:
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(6²) + 2(3.14)(6)(10)
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(36) + 2(3.14)(6)(10)
Surface Area = 2(3.14)(36) + 2(3.14)(60)
Surface Area = 226.08 + 376.8
Surface Area = 602.88

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 602.88 square inches.

Still wrong, Bot. Try again.
602.88 is the correct answer
