Surface Area of a Cylinder Formula: SA = 2πrh + 2πr²

• r is radius
• h is height

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

r = 2 cm

h = 8 cm

Step 2: Find SA

1. Substitute in variables [Surface Area of a Cylinder Formula]: SA = 2π(2 cm)(8 cm) + 2π(2 cm)²
2. Evaluate exponents: SA = 2π(2 cm)(8 cm) + 2π(4 cm²)
3. Multiply: SA = 32π cm² + 8π cm²
4. Add: SA = 40π cm²
5. Evaluate: SA = 125.664 cm²
