In order to calculate the lateral surface area of the cylinder, we can use the following formula:


\text{LSA}=2\pi rh

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

Using r = 3 and h = 3, we have:


\begin{gathered} \text{LSA}=2\pi\cdot3\cdot3 \\ \text{LSA}=18\pi \end{gathered}

So the LSA is equal 18π cm², therefore the answer is 18.
