Question

The surface area of a cylinder is 56.52 m2. What is the height, if the radius is 2 meters?

Answer 1

The formula for the Total surface area of a cylinder is 56.52m^2,

This is,

`2\pi r(r+h)=56.52`

r=3 , so

`\begin{gathered} 2*\pi*2(2+h)\text{ = 56.52} \\ 12.57(2+h)=56.52 \\ 2+h=(56.52)/(12.57)=\text{ 4.5} \end{gathered}`

So h = 4.5 - 2 = 2.5 meters.

h= 2.5 meters
