The lateral surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

Lateral Surface Area = 2 * π * r * h

Given that the radius of the cylinder is 2.5 meters and the height is 7 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Lateral Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 2.5 * 7

Lateral Surface Area = 43.96 square meters

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 44.0 square meters.
