The surface area of a cylinder is calculated using the formula 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r^2, where h is the height of the cylinder and r is the radius of the base.
From the diagram, it looks like the radius of the cylinder is 7 inches and the height is 10 inches.
Using the formula, we get:
2Ï€ * 7 * 10 + 2Ï€ * 7^2
= 140Ï€ + 98Ï€
= 238Ï€
Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is 238Ï€ in^2.
The closest option is 224Ï€ in^2, so the correct answer is 224Ï€ in^2.
