STEP 1: find base area $ AB $

To find base area $ AB $ use formula:

$$ AB = r^2 \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $r = 6\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ AB = \left( 6\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} \cdot \pi $$ $$ AB = 36\, \text{cm}^2 \cdot \pi $$

STEP 2: find lateral area $ AL $

To find lateral area $ AL $ use formula:

$$ AL = 2 \cdot h \cdot r \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $r = 6\, \text{cm}$ and $h = 4\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ AL = 8\, \text{cm} \cdot 6\, \text{cm} \cdot \pi $$$$ AL = 48\pi\, \text{cm}^2 $$

STEP 3: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = 2 AB + AL $$

After substituting $AB = 36\pi\, \text{cm}^2$ and $AL = 48\pi\, \text{cm}^2$ we have:

$$ A = 2 \cdot 36\pi\, \text{cm}^2 + 48\pi\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ A = 72\pi\, \text{cm}^2 + 48\pi\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ A = 120\pi\, \text{cm}^2 $$
