Answer:

1169 in^2 Approx

Explanation:

Given data

We know that the shape of the pencil is cylindrical

Hence the dimension is

Diameter= 12in

Radius= 12/2= 6in

Height= 25in

The surface area of a cylinder is given as

T.S.A.=2πrh+2πr^2

Substitute

T.S.A.=2*3.142*6*25+2*3.142*6^2

T.S.A.=942.6+226.224

T.S.A=1168.824

Hence the area is 1169 in^2 Approx
