Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A trophy is a solid cylinder of radius and height . A conical hollow of the same radius and height is cut out of the top, so the whole top face is gone. Find the total surface area of the trophy in exact form and as a decimal to one decimal place.
The canvas of a tent is the curved surface of the cylinder plus the curved surface of the cone, . For a hollow, remove the face where it starts and add the inside surface. A hemispherical hollow in a flat face adds to the area.

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The bottom. .
Step 2. The side. .
Step 3. The hollow. The slant height is . The inside surface is .
Step 4. The total. , which is .
Watch out. The top face is not counted, because the cone hollow has the same radius as the cylinder and takes the whole top.
