The total surface area, SA, is the sum of the lateral surface area and twice the area of the base, i.e.,
SA = LA + 2B ==> SA = 10(circumference)+ 2B
=
==>
==> after making the necessary cancellations,
==> ==> (r+14)(r-4) = 0
==> r = 4. (r cannot be equal to -14 for obvious reasons.)
==> The diameter of the right circular cylinder is 8.
