To find the surface area of a cylinder, add the areas of the two circles and the rectangular piece connecting them
area of circle: A = pi(r)^2 A = pi(7)^2 A = 49pi
area of rectangle: A = length X width the length is the circumference of the circle C = 2pi(r) C = 2pi(7) C = 14pi multiply 14 pi by the width 5 area of rectangle: 70pi
add the areas of the two circles and the rectangle: 49pi + 49pi + 70pi = 168pi
ANSWER: 168pi for the decimal if you use pi on the calculator then the answer is 527.8 but if u multiply by 3.14 the answer is 527.5
