Answer:
18.85 [tex]ft^2\\[/tex]
*You should run the numbers yourself as well. Sometimes different calculators will get marginally different numbers or use a different rounding for [tex]\pi[/tex] that gives a slightly different answer*
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of a cylinder: [tex]2\pi rh+2\pi r^2[/tex]
Where h is the height and r is the radius. Remember that the radius is half the diameter, and the diameter is a straight line that passes through a circle.
I could be wrong, but I think you had the correct equation but used the diameter in stead of the radius to get 50.36.
Radius: 1 Height: 2
Plug numbers into equation:
[tex]A=2\pi (1)(2)+2\pi (1)^2= 18.8495. . .[/tex]
I hope that helps!
