The volume formula of a cylinder is given as:

V = π r^2 h

So plugging in the value of the volume:

10 ft^3 = π r^2 h

h = 10 / (π r^2) ---> eqtn 1

The formula for the surface area of cylinder is:

s = 2 π r h + 2 π r^2

plugging in eqtn 1:

s = 2 π r [10 / (π r^2)] + 2 π r^2

s = (20 / r) + 2 π r^2 (ANSWER)
