Answer:


h=17\ in

Explanation:

we know that

The total surface area of a cylinder is equal to


SA=2\pi r^(2)+2\pi rh

where

r is the radius of the base of cylinder

h is the height of cylinder

we have


SA=690.8\ in^2


r=10/2=5\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter

assume


\pi=3.14

substitute the given values and solve for h


690.8=2(3.14)(5^(2))+2(3.14)(5)h


690.8=157+31.4h

Solve for h


31.4h=690.8-157


31.4h=533.8


h=17\ in
