Solved by pluggable solver: Surface area and Volume of a cylinder
The surface area (SA) of a cylinder, excluding the base area and top area, is given by
SA+=+2%2Api%2AR%2AH

When the areas of base and top are included, the surface area becomes
SA+=+2%2Api%2AR%2AH+%2B+2%2Api%2AR%5E2
SA+=+2%2Api%2AR%2A%28R%2BH%29

The volume of the cone can be found by the formula
V+=+pi%2AR%5E2%2AH


In our case the desired values are thus:

SA (without base and top) = 2%2Api%2A4%2A10.2+=+256.35396024
SA (with base and top) = 2%2Api%2A4%2A10.2+%2B+2%2Api%2A4%5E2+=+356.88492504
V = pi%2A4%5E2%2A10.2+=+512.70792048
