The formula for finding the surface area of a cylinder is as follows:
A = 2[tex] \pi rh[/tex] + 2[tex] \pi r^{2} [/tex]
Since we know the values of the radius and the height (and we know Pi = 3.14), we can plug these in to our formula and solve to find the surface area:
A = 2 (3.14) (16) (9) + 2 (3.14) [tex] 16^{2} [/tex]
A = 904.32 + 1607.68
A = 2512
The approximate surface area of this cylinder is 2,512 [tex] m^{2} [/tex]
