Question

A rectangular sheet of paper 42 cm x 16 cm is rolled along its length and a cylinder is formed . Find the volume of the cylinder

Answer 1

Since a rectangle is rolled along length then circumference of circle is equal to length of rectangle and breadth equals to height.

=) 2*pi*r = 42cm

=) 2*22/7 * r = 42cm

=) r = 42*7 / 2*22

=) r = 147/22 cm

Since Volume of cylinder = pi* r^2*h

= 22/7 * 147/22 * 147/22 * 16 cm^3

= 2245.09 cm^3.
