Author: Marty Stepp (on 2016/09/08)

Write a method called cylinderSurfaceArea that accepts a radius and height (both real numbers) as parameters and returns the surface area of a cylinder with those dimensions. For example, the call cylinderSurfaceArea(3.0, 4.5) should return 141.3716694115407. The formula for the surface area of a cylinder with radius r and height h is the following:

surface area = 2πr2 + 2πrh
