You can't have meters and centimeters, it's like mixing apples and oranges. The cylinder has a diameter of 20 cm and is 100cm tall (1m = 100cm)
So your cylinder has an outside surface area of 20*Pi*100
There is not enough information to tell you if she has enough paint because you are not saying how thick she wants the paint coat to be.

Is it too much to say, "Please explain?"
Get the lengths in the same measurement by converting the height (1 m) to cm, or the radius (in cm) to meters
Surface Area of cylinder: 2πr² + 2πrh, but since it's assumed that only the top, and not the bottom will be painted, then it's: πr² + 2πrh
You're given the diameter, so you need to calculate r (radius).
To get your answer, you'll need to know how much paint covers each sq cm or sq m, depending on what measurement you converted to.
This should be enough for you to solve this!
