    236 in2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To find how much cardboard is used, we need to find the surface area of the cylinder, minus the top surface.

    The area of the base is:

    A_base = pi*r^2

    Where r is the radius of the base.

    A_base = pi * (3.5) ^2 = 38.4845 in2

    The area of the side is calculated as:

    A_side = 2*pi*r*h

    Where h is the height of the cylinder.

    A_side = 2*pi*3.5*9 = 197.9203 in2

    So the total area we want is:

    A_total = A_base + A_side = 38.4845 + 197.9203 = 236.4048 in2

    Rounding to nearest square inch, we have A_total = 236 in2
