A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a solid cylinder, as shown in the figure. If the height of the cylinder is $\displaystyle 10$ cm and its base is of radius $\displaystyle 3.5$ cm, find the total surface area of the article.

Marking-scheme solution
Height of cylinder \(\displaystyle =10 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Radius of cylinder = radius of hemisphere \(\displaystyle =3 \cdot 5=\frac{7}{2} \mathrm{~cm}\)
Total surface area of the article
= CSA of cylinder + CSA of $\displaystyle 2$ hemispheres
\[\begin{aligned}
& =2 \pi \mathrm{rh}+2 \times 2 \pi \mathrm{r}^{2} \\
& =2 \pi \mathrm{r}(\mathrm{~h}+2 \mathrm{r}) \\
& =2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\left(10+2 \times \frac{7}{2}\right) \\
& =22 \times 17=374 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}
\end{aligned}
