Answer:

The height of the another cylinder 'h' = 7

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Step 1:-

Surface area of the cylinder = 2пrh + 2пr^2

Given radius of first cylinder is 20cm

given height of the first cylinder is 2 cm

The surface area of first cylinder is = 2пrh + 2пr^2

= 2п(20)(2)+2п(2)^2

= 4п(20+2)

The surface area of first cylinder is 88п

Step 2:

given data The surface area of first cylinder is 88п is same as second cylinder also

Find the height of the second cylinder

Given Radius of the second cylinder r = 4

Surface area of the cylinder = 2пrh + 2пr^2 = 88п

2п(4)h+2п(4)^2 =88п

on simplification we get

2п (4h+16) = 88п

after cancellation '2п' value and on simplification, we get

4h+16 = 44

4h = 44-16

4h = 28

h=7

Therefore the height of the another cylinder is 'h' =7
