Answer :

The approximate radius of the cylinder  is 4.5m

Surface area of cylinder

The formula for calculating the surface area of cylinder is expressed as:

SA = 2πr(r+h)

where

r is the radius

h is the height

Given the following parameters

SA = 221.1 square meters

height = 7.8m

Substitute

221.1= 2(3.14)r(r+7.8)

221.1 = 6.28r^2 + 15.6r

Factorize to have

6.28r^2 + 15.6r - 221.6 = 0

On factoring, the value of the radius is 4.5 meters
