To find the height of the right circular cylinder, we first need to find the radius of the cylinder from the given surface area.

The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)

Given surface area = 715.92 m^2
Using π = 3.14

715.92 = 2(3.14)r(r + h)
357.96 = 3.14r^2 + 3.14rh
Dividing by 3.14:
113.943 = r^2 + rh

Now we also know that the total surface area of the cylinder must be 715.92 m^2.
The lateral surface area of a cylinder can be calculated as 2πrh.

Therefore, the lateral surface area = 2(3.14)r(h) = 6.28rh

So, 6.28rh must be equal to 715.92 - the area of the circular bases.

6.28rh = 715.92 - 113.943
6.28rh = 601.977
rh = 95.91
Now, we know that r = 3.14

Therefore, h = rh / 3.14 = 95.91 / 3.14 = 30.531

Therefore, the height of the right circular cylinder is approximately 30.53 meters.

The closest given option is 32 meters, so that would be the answer.
