Hello, Gracy!
I'll assume that this is to be done by Arithmetic . . .

Determine the approximate percentage changed in (i) its volume
(ii) its curved surface area (neglecting the product of small quantities)
Let r be the original radius, then 0.96r is the new radius.
Let h be the original height, then 1.02h is the new height.
The original volume is: .V1 .= .πr²h
The new volume is: .V2 .= .π(0.96r)²(1.02h) .≈ .(0.94)πr²h
The change in volume is: .V1 - V2 .= .πr²h - (0.94)πr²h .= . (0.06)πr²h
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .change . . . (0.06)πr²h
Percent of change . = . --------- .= .------------- .= .0.06 .= .6%
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .original . . . . .πr²h
You can do part (ii).
The curved surface area is: .S .= .2πrh
