Answer:

70.66 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cylinder is expressed as;


TSA\text{ = 2}\pi r(r+h)

r is the radius = 5/2 inches

h is the height = 2in


\begin{gathered} \text{TSA = 2(3.14)(5/2)(5/2+2)} \\ \text{TSA = }2(3.14)(2.5)(2.5+2) \\ \text{TSA = }15.7(4.5) \\ TSA\text{ = }70.66in^2 \end{gathered}

Hence the total surface area of the figure is 70.66 square inches
