Though this looked like an easy question l still backed into the answer, maybe l should brush up on my formulas/algebra.
How did you determine not to use the total surface area of a right circular cylinder (2*Pi*r*h + 2*Pi*r^2)
But instead you knew to use only (Pi*r^2*H)?

Help!! l was a little confused on which formula to use..

Thanks All

Aren't you mixing area and volume? The question asks about the capacity, so the volume not the area.
