Here is how to solve it with long division and synthetic division.
surface area of cylinder = 2 π r h + 2π r²
plug in values of pi, radius and area
2,461.76 = 2× 3.14 × 14 × h + 2× 3.14 × 14 × 14
2,461.76 = 87.92 h + 1,230.88
2,461.76 – 1,230.88 = 87.92h
1,230.88 = 87.92h
1,230.88 ÷ 87.92 = h
h = 14 ft
12598 rounded to the nearest thousands is 1260
The answer to this equation would be k=2
