Ineed to find surface area of a cylinder. formula being used: s. a= l x w +

the given diameter: 6yd
given length: 12yd

90π yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area of a cylinder is the sum of the lateral area and twice the aera of one end of the cylinder:  π·d·l, where l represents the length of the cylinder.  Here, the lateral surface area is π·6 yd·12 yd, or 72π yd².

The two ends add the following to the total surface area:

2·π·(d/2)², or 2π·d²/4.

Thus, the total surface area of the cyl. is

A = 2π·(6 yd)²/4 + 72π yd², or

A = 18π yd² + 72π yd² = 90π yd²

Note:  Please check your source.  L x W +  2pi ·r ^2 is incorrect.
