The correct answer is

$1804 cm^2$

Cylinder Information

We are given the following details for a solid cylinder:

  • Volume ($V$): $5,236 \text{ cm}^3$
  • Height ($h$): $34 \text{ cm}
  • Value of $\pi$: $\frac{22}{7}

Cylinder Radius Calculation

The formula for the volume ($V$) of a cylinder is $V = \pi r^2 h$. We use the given volume and height to find the radius ($r$).

Substitute the known values into the formula:

$ 5,236 = \frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 34 $

Rearrange the equation to solve for $r^2$:

$ r^2 = \frac{5,236 \times 7}{22 \times 34} $ $ r^2 = \frac{36,652}{748} $ $ r^2 = 49 $

Calculate the radius by taking the square root:

$ r = \sqrt{49} = 7 \text{ cm} $

Total Surface Area Calculation

The formula for the total surface area (TSA) of a solid cylinder is $TSA = 2\pi r (r+h)$.

Substitute the calculated radius ($r = 7$ cm) and the given height ($h = 34$ cm) into the TSA formula:

$ TSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + 34) $

Simplify the expression:

$ TSA = 2 \times 22 \times (41) $ $ TSA = 44 \times 41 $ $ TSA = 1,804 \text{ cm}^2 $

Final Answer

The total surface area of the solid cylinder is $1,804 \text{ cm}^2$.
