1. **State the problem:** Find the surface area of a cylinder with diameter 4.8 yd and height 2 yd.
2. **Formula:** The surface area $SA$ of a cylinder is given by
$$SA = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h$$
where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height.
3. **Find the radius:** The radius $r$ is half the diameter:
$$r = \frac{4.8}{2} = 2.4 \text{ yd}$$
4. **Calculate the areas:**
- Area of the two circular bases:
$$2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times (2.4)^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 5.76 = 36.1728$$
- Area of the side (lateral surface area):
$$2\pi r h = 2 \times 3.14 \times 2.4 \times 2 = 30.144$$
5. **Add the areas:**
$$SA = 36.1728 + 30.144 = 66.3168$$
6. **Round to nearest hundredth:**
$$SA \approx 66.32 \text{ square yards}$$
**Final answer:** The surface area of the cylinder is **66.32 square yards**.
