A right cylinder has a radius of 2 feet and a height of 5 feet. Find the surface area of the cylinder. What formula should I be using? My answer should be 28Ï€ ft^2. I didn't get this using 2Ï€h + 2Ï€r^2.

Step 1
Plugging in the values given in the problem, we get: SA = 2π(2)^2 + 2π(2)(5) SA = 8π + 20π SA = 28π Show more…

Surface Area of Prisms and Cylinders
The surface area of a right circular cylinder is represented by $2 \pi r^{2}+2 \pi r h .$ If the surface area is $156 \pi \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ and the height is $7 \mathrm{ft}$, determine the radius of the cylinder.
