Given:

Radius of a cylinder = 5 units.

Surface area of the cylinder =
160\pi

To find:

The height of the right cylinder.

Solution:

Surface area of a cylinder is:


A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2

Where, r is radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

Putting
r=5, A=160\pi in the above formula, we get


160\pi =2\pi (5)(h)+2\pi (5)^2


160\pi =10\pi h+2\pi (25)


160\pi =10\pi h+50\pi

Subtract
50\pi from both sides.


160\pi -50\pi=10\pi h


110\pi=10\pi h

Divide both sides by
10\pi.


(110\pi)/(10\pi)=h


11=h

Therefore, the height of the cylinder is 11 units.
