Question

A cylinder has a base area of 154 cm² and a height of 20cm. What is its total surface area, in cm?? Use, 22/7

A.1188
B.1200
C.1220
D.1224​

Answer 1

Hi there!

We've given with the base area and height. We know the formula for base area

Base area = πr²

154 = 22/7 × r²

154 × 7/22 = r²

49 = r²

√49 = r

7 = r

Now

TSA = 2πr(h + r)

TSA = 2 × 22/7 × 7(7 + 20)

TSA = 44(27)

TSA = 1188 cm²
