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:
- Radius \( r = 5 \) inches
- Height \( h = 10 \) inches
- \(\pi \approx 3.14\)
Substituting these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times (10 + 5) \] \[ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 15 \] \[ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 75 \] \[ = 6.28 \times 75 \] \[ = 471 \text{ sq. inches} \]
Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 sq. inches.
