The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given by:
S = 2πrh + 2πr²
where:
- S is the surface area
- r is the radius
- h is the height
Substituting r = 2 yd and h = 2 yd, we get:
S = 2π(2 yd)(2 yd) + 2π(2 yd)²
S = 8π yd² + 8π yd²
S = 16π yd²
Rounding to the nearest thousandth, we get:
S ≈ 50.265 yd²
