To solve this problem you must apply the fomrula for calculate the area of a cylinder, which is shown below: A=2πrh+2πr^2 Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder You have that r=15.1 inches and h=12.8 inches, then: A=2πrh+2r^2 A=2π(15.1 in)(12.8 in)+2π(15.1 in)^2 A=2647 in^2 The answer is 2647 in^2
