The surface area of a cylinder is equal to the sum of the areas of the circles on the top and bottom of the cylinder and the area around the cylinder.

The area of a circle is , where r = 18, so is the area of each circle.

The area of the section between the circles is a bit trickier. You can think of this section as a rectangle rolled up into a cylindrical shape. This rectangle has a height of 48, and a width equal to the circumference of the circle, which is

.

The area of this rectangle is equal to the height times the width, which is .

The sum of the area of the three parts is .

The surface area is 2376*pi = 7464.424 square inches.
