Question

Given a cylinder with circumference 30in, and lateral edge 2in. Then the lateral area will be

Answer 1

The lateral area of the cylinder is equal to
`60\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a cylinder is equal to

`LA=Ch`

where

C is the circumference of the base of cylinder

h is the height of cylinder

In this problem we have

`C=30\ in`

`h=2\ in`

substitute

`LA=(30)(2)=60\ in^(2)`
