Question

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The formulae for Curved surface

area = πrh

Area = 88cm2

height = 14cm

radius = ?

Let π be 22/7

88 = 22/7 x r x 14

cross multiply

88 x 7 = 22 x 14 x r

616 = 308r

Divide both sides by 308

r = 2

Diameter = Radius x 2

so our radius is 2, 2 x 2 = 4
