To find the surface area of a cylinder, we need to find the area of the two circles (2πr^2) and the area of the rectangle (2πrh).

Given that the surface area is 395.64 feet^2, we can set up the equation:
395.64 = 2(3.14)(3)^2 + 2(3.14)(3)h

Simplify:
395.64 = 56.52 + 18.84h

Subtract 56.52 from both sides:
339.12 = 18.84h

Divide by 18.84:
h = 18 feet

Therefore, the height of the net diagram is 18 feet.
