The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr^2h

where

r is the radius of the base,

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

h is the height of the cylinder

From the information given,

r = 5

volume = 785.4

By substituting these values into the formula,

785.4 = 3.14 x 5^2 x h = 78.5h

h = 785.4/78.5

h = 10.0051

The formula for calculating the surface area of a cylinder is expressed as

Surface area = 2πr(r + h)

Substituting π = 3.14, r = 5 and h = 10.0051 into the formula,

Surface area = 2 x 3.14 x 5(5 + 10.0051) = 31.4 x 15.0051

Surface area = 471.2 in^2
