Use the formulas for the surface area of a cylinder.

1187.5cm^2

Practice makes perfect
The given solid is a cylinder. To calculate the surface area of a cylinder, we can use the following formula. S=2π rh+2π r^2In this formula r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. We are given that the diameter of the cylinder's base is 18cm. By dividing it by 2, we get the radius of the base. r=18/2= 9cm Now, by substituting r with 9 and h with 12 into the formula we can solve for S. Let's do it!
S=2π rh+2π r^2
S=2π( 9)( 12)+2π( 9)^2
Simplify right-hand side
S=216π + 162π
S=378π
S=1187.522023...
S≈ 1187.5
The surface area of the given cylinder is about 1187.5cm^2.
