The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height. We are given \( V = 448 \pi \) and \( h = 7 \) cm. Substituting the values into the formula:
\[
448 \pi = \pi r^2 \times 7
\]
Simplifying:
\[
448 = 7r^2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r^2 = 64 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r = 8 \, \text{cm}
\]
The lateral surface area \( A \) of a cylinder is given by the formula:
\[
A = 2 \pi r h
\]
Substituting \( r = 8 \) cm and \( h = 7 \) cm:
\[
A = 2 \pi \times 8 \times 7 = 112 \pi \, \text{cm}^2
\]
Thus, the lateral surface area is \( 112 \pi \), and we have to match the answer in the options. After calculation, the correct answer is 252 cm\(^2\).
