Answer:
C. 162.5 sq ft.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
S.A of smaller cylinder, S1 = 65 ft²
Ratio = 2:5 = 2 + 5 = 7
Let the total surface area be x.
S1 = 2/7 * x = 65
S1 = 2x = 65 * 7
S1 = 2x = 455
x = 455/2
x = 227.5 ft²
To find the surface area of the larger cylinder;
S2 = 5/7 * 227.5
S2 = 1137.5/7
S2 = 162.5 ft²
