The surface area of the cylinder is 18.84 square feet

<h3>How to determine the surface area?</h3>

The given parameters are

Height, h = 2 ft

Diameter, d = 2 ft

The radius (r) is half of the diameter (d)

This is calculated as:

Radius = Diameter/2

So, we have:

r = d/2

Substitute 2 for d

r = 2/2

Evaluate the quotient i.e. divide 2 by 1

r = 1

The surface area is then calculated using the following formula

A = 2πr² + 2πrh

Substitute the given values in the above equation

So, we have:

A = 2 * 3.14 * 1^2 + 2 * 3.14 * 1 * 2

Evaluate the exponents

A = 2 * 3.14 * 1 + 2 * 3.14 * 1 * 2

Evaluate the products

A = 6.28 + 12.56

Evaluate the sum

A = 18.84

Hence, the surface area of the cylinder with the given height and radius is 18.84 square feet
