To find the new surface area of the cylinder after dilation, we first need to calculate the original surface area using the given dimensions and then apply the scale factor.

  1. Original dimensions:

    • Height \( h = 15 \) cm
    • Radius \( r = 8 \) cm
  2. Surface area formula: \[ \text{SA} = 2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 \]

  3. Calculate original surface area:

    • Calculate \( 2\pi rh \): \[ 2\pi (8)(15) = 240\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
    • Calculate \( 2\pi r^2 \): \[ 2\pi (8^2) = 2\pi (64) = 128\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
    • Total surface area: \[ \text{SA} = 240\pi + 128\pi = 368\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
  4. Dilate the dimensions: When a shape is dilated by a scale factor, all dimensions are multiplied by that scale factor.

    • New radius \( r' = 4 \times 8 = 32 \) cm
    • New height \( h' = 4 \times 15 = 60 \) cm
  5. Calculate the new surface area: \[ \text{SA'} = 2\pi r'h' + 2\pi (r')^2 \]

    • Calculate \( 2\pi r'h' \): \[ 2\pi (32)(60) = 3840\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
    • Calculate \( 2\pi (r')^2 \): \[ 2\pi (32^2) = 2\pi (1024) = 2048\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
    • Total new surface area: \[ \text{SA'} = 3840\pi + 2048\pi = 5888\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
  6. Final answer: The new surface area after dilation is \( 5,888\pi \text{ cm}^2 \).

So the correct response is:

5,888π cm²
