A cylinder, opened at one end, has a radius of 3.5cm and height 8cm. calculate the total surface area

A.

126.5cm\(^2\)

B.

165.0cm\(^2\)

C.

212.0cm\(^2\)

D.

214.5cm\(^2\)

Correct answer is D

The surface area of an open-top cylinder = πr(r + 2h),

where 'r' is the radius and 'h' is the height of the cylinder.

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) * 3.5 (3.5 + 2 * 8)

= 11 (3.5 + 16) → 11 (19.5)

= 214.5cm\(^2\)
