Answer:

NO

Explanation:

it is not possible for a cylinder to have a surface area greater than 100 cm² and a volume less than 100 cm³. The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. A cylinder with a surface area greater than 100 cm² would have to have a relatively large radius and/or height.

On the other hand, the volume of a cylinder is given by the formula πr²h. Even if the radius is small and the height is big, the product of both will be bigger than 100 cm³. Therefore, it is not possible for a cylinder to have a surface area greater than 100 cm² and a volume less than 100 cm³.
