What is the surface area of a cylinder with the given dimensions? express your answer to nearest hundredth. use 3.14 for pi. radius = 5 cm.; height = 8 cm.

a. 582.45 sq. cm

c. 408.20 sq. cm

b. 281.34 sq. cm

d. 347.80 sq. cm?

The surface area of a cylinder is calculated through the equation,

SA = 2πr (h + r)

where r is the radius and h is height.

Substituting the known values to the equation above,

SA = 2π (5 cm) (8 cm + 5 cm)

SA = 408.20 sq. cm

Therefore, the answer is C. (based on your choices)
