Answer:

75.102π

Explanation:

Surface area is given by

SA=
\pi rl+\pi r^2

Volume 'V'=
\pi r^2(h)/(3)

lets determine 'h'

(96 x 3)/ π6² = h

h= 2.546 unit

Length 'l' =
√(r^2+h^2) =>
√(6^2+ 2.546^2)

l= 6.517 unit

substituting all the required values in surface area formula

SA= (π x 6 x 6.517) + (π x 6²)

SA= 39.102π + 36π

SA= 75.102π

Thus, the surface area is 75.102π
