You can put this solution on YOUR website!
look up the equation of the surface area of a cylinder in your geometry book.
Notice the letter pi in the equation. Ask yourself, what is the value of pi
Then find the decimal value of 22/7 (Use your calculator and divide it).
Notice a similarity? Good :) now you have it. Just make that substitution for pi everywhere in the formula
