Let's get the top and bottom surface areas first

t=pi r^2  =   pi (18^2) = 1017.876

b=pi r^2 =   pi (36^2) =4071.504    (IF we are counting the bottom)

 

the 'Middle surface area is just the difference betwen these two    4071.504 - 1017.876 = 3053.628

 

Now the sides are   pi x d x h      

Bottom  pi x 72 x 18 =4071.504

top         pi x 36 x 18 = 2035.752

 

Now add them all together: 

     2035.752 + 4071.504 + 3053.628 + 4071.504 + 1017.876 =  USE calculator

NOTE: IF BOTTOM is not cosidered part of the 'Surface Area' leave out ONE of the 4071.504 terms.
