The surface area of the solid created upon dilation is 42pi square units.

Given:

1. A cylinder dilated by a scale factor of 1/2

2. Radius = 7

3. Height = 5

Desired Outcome:

The surface area of the solid created upon dilation

Formula for Surface Area of a cylinder

SA = 2πrh+ 2πr²

Surface of the cylinder before dilation

SA before dilation = 2π. 7-5 + 2π. 72 = 70π + 98π = 168π

Surface of the cylinder after dilation

SA after dilation = 1687 × (1/2)^2

= 168 × 1/4

= 42π
