surface area of cylinder = (circumference of base)(height) + 2(area of base)
surface area of cylinder = 2 pi r h + 2 pi r2 r = 60/2 = 30 and h = 4 * 60 = 240
surface area of cylinder = 2 pi (30)(240) + 2 pi (30)2
surface area of cylinder = 14400pi + 1800pi = 16200pi ≈ 50894 square mm
surface area of box = 2LW + 2LH + 2HW
And L = 60 + 60 = 120 mm , W = 60 + 60 = 120 mm , H = 60 mm
surface area of box = 2(120)(120) + 2(120)(60) + 2(60)(120)
surface area of box = 28800 + 14400 + 14400 = 57600 square mm
50894 is less than 57600 , so the cylinder has a smaller surface area.
