Question

The circumference of the base of a cylinder is 24π mm. A similar cylinder has a base with circumference of 60π mm. The lateral area of the larger cylinder is 210π mm2.

What is the lateral area of the smaller cylinder?

Answer 1

33.6π mm2

Explanation:

answer is right on edge

Answer 2

Given that the figures are similar polygons, the ratio of their ratios should be equal to the square of the ratio of their circumference. If we let x be the lateral area of the smaller cylinder then,
(x/210π) = (24π/60π)²
The value of x from the equation is,
x = 33.6π
Thus, the area of the smaller cylinder is equal to 33.6π mm².
