The surface area of the cylinder is #4521.6# or #1440pi#

Explanation:

The formula of finding surface area of a cylinder is #SA=2pir^2+2pirh#

#pi# = 3.14
#h# - height
#r# - radius

Now, you would plug in the numbers you know:

#SA=2(3.14)16^2+2(3.14)(16)(29)#

Now I would simplify it further down to this:

#SA=2(3.14)256+2(3.14)(464)#

I squared 16 and multiply 16 by 29.

Now, we simply it even further down to:

#SA=1607.68 + 2913.92#

I multiplied everything on both sides of the #+# together and as shown above, those are the answer of what I got. Now, you add them together and you get:

#SA=4521.6#

If you want it in term of #pi#, you would of not multiplied 3.14 on both sides, you would just leave it till the end.

SO here are the step for leaving it in term of #pi#

#SA=2pi16^2+2pi(16)(29) #SA=2pi256+2pi(464)# - #SA=512pi+928pi# #SA=1440pi#
