Mya, this is the solution:
Let's recall that the formula to solve for the surface area of a cylinder is:
A = 2 * π * r * h + 2 * π * r²
In our exercise, we have:
r = 8 cm
h = 7 cm
In consequence, replacing these values in the formula:
A = 2π * 7 * 8 + 2π * 8²
A = 2π * 56 + 2π * 64
A = 112π + 128π
A = 240π cm²
The correct answer is D. 240π cm²
