207.24 in²
1) Gathering the data
height: 8"
Base Diameter: 6" then a Radius: 3 for D=2R
2) Let's find the Surface Area from this Cylinder by plugging into that the given data:
[tex]\begin{gathered} SA=2\pi\cdot r^2+2\pi rh \\ S_A=2(3.14)\cdot(3)^2+2\cdot3.14\cdot3\cdot8 \\ S_A=207.24in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]3) Hence, the answer is 207.24 in²
