Given, a cylindrical lampshade

Daimeter of the base = d = 20\ cm

Height of the cylinder  = 30\ cm

Total height of lampshade= (30+ 2.5 + 2.5) = 35\ cm 

We know, 

Curved surface area of a cylinder of radius r and height  h = 2\pi r h

Now, Cloth required for covering the lampshade = Curved surface area of the cylinder

\\ = 2\times\frac{22}{7} \times10 \times 35 \\ \\ = 22\times10\times10 = 2200\ cm^2

Therefore, 2200\ cm^2 cloth will be required for covering the lampshade.
