The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula 2πrh + 2πr^2, where r is the radius and h is the height. Substituting the given values, we get:
Surface area = 2*3.14*4*3 + 2*3.14*4^2
Surface area = 75.36 + 100.48
Surface area = 175.84 square feet
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the surface area is approximately 175.8 square feet.
