ANSWER
301.6 ft²
EXPLANATION
The surface area of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;
[tex]S.A = 2\pi \: r(r + h)[/tex]
From the diagram the height of the cylinder is 8 feet and the radius is 4 feet.
We substitute the values into the formula to obtain,
[tex]S.A = 2\pi \: 4(4+ 8)[/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]S.A = 8\pi \: (12)[/tex]
[tex]S.A = 96\pi[/tex]
Or
[tex]S.A = 301.6 {ft}^{2} [/tex]
to the nearest tenth.
