Question 1179966: Please help with geometry

Ellis is painting wooden fenceposts before putting them in his yard. They are each 5 feet tall and have a diameter of 1 foot. There are 10 fenceposts in all. How much paint will Ellis need to paint all the surfaces of the 10 fenceposts? Use 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

height of fence post 5 ft
diameter of fence post = 1 ft radius = 0.5 ft
Total surface of the fence post = 2pir(r+h)
= 2* 3.14 *(5+0.5)
= 6.28 * 5.5
= 34.54 ft^2 / post
For 10
345.4 ft^2
How much paint /ft^2
