you make two cylinders using 8.5-by-11-inch pieces of paper. One has a height of 8.5 inches, and the other has a height of 11 inches. without calculating, compare the surface areas of the cilynders.

8 in < 11 in 

If the height is also larger, the base is most likely larger too.

Wouldn't the largest cylinder have a Larger surface area?
