#A = 527.8 cm^2#

Explanation:

The total surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the two ends (equal), and the side area. The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
#A = 2 xx pi xx r xx h + 2 xx pi xx r^2#
For this example we have #r = 6# and #h = 8#.
#A = 2 xx pi xx 6 xx 8 + 2 xx pi xx 6^2#
#A = 301.6 + 226.2 = 527.8#
