Answer:

1,570,000 cubic units

Explanation:

Surface Area of Cylinder (SA):

The surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the lateral area and the area of the two bases.

Lateral Area (LA):

The lateral area is the area of the vertical side, which is a rectangle with the circumference of the base as the length and the height of the cylinder as the width. LA = 2πrh

Base Area (BA):

The two bases are circles. BA = 2πr²

SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

The height is 4 times the radius: h = 4r

SA = 2πr(4r) + 2πr²

SA = 8πr² + 2πr²

SA = 10πr² = 78500

10(3.14)r² = 78500

r² = 2500

r = 50 units

Volume of Cylinder (V):

The volume of a cylinder is πr²h.

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × (50)² × 4(50)

V = 1,570,000 cubic units
