You are looking for the area of a rectangle wrapped around a cylinder. So I would say 8 times 11= 88 cm.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The formula for lateral surface area is 2 * pi * radius * height
OpenStudy (pfenn1):
The area is found by multiplying the circumference of the can by the height of the label: the formula @pratu043 just gave you.

So the lateral surface area would be:
2 * 22/7 * 8 * 11
