Answer:

The surface area is 3140 feet².

What is Surface Area?

Surface area is the amount of space covering the outside of a three-dimensional shape.

Given that:

Diameter = 20 feet

radius = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 feet

Now, Surface area will be,

=2πr²+ 2πrh

= 2 × 3.14 × (10)² + 2 × 3.14 × 10 × 40

= 6.28 × 100 + 6.28 × 400

= 628 + 25.12 × 100

= 628+ 2512

= 3140 feet²

hence, the surface area is 3140 feet².
