Question

The heights of two similar cylinders are 3cm and 4cm respectively. The total area of the bigger cylinder is 400cm².Calculate the total surface area of the smaller cyl​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total surface area = 2πr(r+h)

If the total area of the bigger cylinder is 400cm² and radius is 4cm, then;

400=2(3.14)(r)(r+4)

400= 6.26r(r+4)

400=100.48 + 25.12h

299.52 = 25.12h

H = 299.52/25.12

H = 11.92cm

For the smaller cylinder

The height is calculated as;

H/h = R/r

11/92/
