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,
- \( h \) is the height, and
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- \( r = 5 \) inches
- \( h = 10 \) inches
Now, plug in the values:
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times (10 + 5) \]
First, calculate \( (10 + 5) = 15 \):
\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5 \times 15 \] \[ = 2 \times 3.14 \times 75 \] \[ = 6.28 \times 75 \] \[ = 471 \]
Thus, the surface area of the cylinder is 471 square inches.
