To start, the question is asking for surface area of a cylinder, meaning you will have to use this formula to find it: A=2πrh+2πr^2.
Since you already know that the diameter of the plastic cylinder is 4 marbles long, and each marble is 2 cm in diameter, you would multiply 4 and 2 to get that your diameter is 8 cm. However, since the surface area of a cylinder formula uses radius, you would simply divide 8 by 2 to get that the radius of the cylinder is 4 cm.
Now, since you already know that the height of the cylinder is equal to 10 marbles, multiply the amount of marbles by 2 to get that the height of the cylinder is 20 cm.
Now that you know the height and the diameter of the cylinder, plug the values into the formula: A=2π(4)(20)+2π(4)^2.
Assuming that pi is 3.14, simplify the equation as according to PEMDAS and you get that the area of plastic needed to make one cylinder is 602.88 cm squared
So you need to add up all the points he scored.
The mean is the average. Divide the total by the number of games he played.
