Hello!

To find the surface area of a cylinder, we use the formula: SA = 2πrh+2πr².

In the description given, the radius is equal to 6 inches and the height is 15 inches. With those values, we can find the surface area by substitution.

SA = 2π(6)(15) + 2π(6)²

SA = 2π(90) + 2π(36)

SA = 180π + 72π

SA = 252π

In terms of pi, the surface area of the cylinder is 252π inches.
