Answer:

the radius of the cylinder is 1.91 cm

Explanation:

Given;

curved area of the cylinder, A = 24 cm²

height of the cylinder, h = 2.0 cm

The curved surface area of a cylinder is given as follows;

Curved surface area = 2πrh

where;

r is the radius of the cylinder

24 = 2πrh

r = 24 / (2πh)

r = 24 / (2π x 2)

r = 24 / (4π)

r = 1.91 cm

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is 1.91 cm
