**Problem:**

Find the surface area for the composite figure which is a cylinder with two hemispheres with a diameter of 8 inches. Leave answer in terms of π.

**Dimensions:**

- Diameter of hemisphere: 8 inches
- Radius of hemisphere (and cylinder): 4 inches (since radius = diameter/2)
- Height of the cylindrical part: 5 inches

**Composite Figure Diagram:**
- The composite figure includes a central cylindrical part with a height of 5 inches and two hemispheres attached to each end with a radius of 4 inches each.

**Solution Approach:**

1. **Surface area of the cylinder:**
   - Lateral surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh
   - Here, r = 4 inches and h = 5 inches
   \[ \text{Lateral surface area} = 2π(4)(5) = 40π \text{ square inches} \]

2. **Surface area of the two hemispheres:**
   - Surface area of one hemisphere = 2πr²
   - Therefore, for two hemispheres: \( 2 \times 2π(4)^2 = 4π(16) = 64π \text{ square inches} \)

3. **Total Surface Area:**
   - Total Surface Area = Cylinder surface area + Surface area of two hemispheres
   - \( \text{Total Surface Area} = 40π + 64π = 104π \text{ square inches} \)

**Conclusion:**
- The surface area of the composite figure is \( 104π \) square inches.
