Answer:

60π

Explanation:

Formula for surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh + 2r²π

2πrh: this is the formula to find the area of the cylinder itself (circumference of the base times the height of the cylinder)

2r²π: this is the formula to find the area of the 2 circles at the end of the cylinder (area of a circle times 2)

We can substitute h with 7 and r with 3 to solve:

2πrh + 2r²π

2(3)(7)π + 2π(3²)

42π + 18π

60π

That is your answer
