Solution

The correct option is A 319 square inches
Given,
diameter (d) = 7 inches
So, radius (r) = 3.5 inches
height (h) = 11 inches
The total surface area is given by 2πr2 + 2πrh
Hence, total surface area = 2 × 3.14 × 3.5 × 3.5 + 2 × 3.14 × 3.5 × 11
Surface Area = (77 + 242 ) square inches
= 319 square inches
