Question

Find the curved surface area of this cylindrical

tube. (Multiple choice)
Use π = 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest
square metre.
14.4 m (height)
5 m (radius)
a.452 m²
b. 226 m²
C.305 m²
d.157 m²

Answer 1

(a) 452 m²

Explanation:

The lateral area of a cylinder is given by the formula ...

A = 2πrh . . . . radius r, height h

__

The given tube has an outside (or inside) area of ...

A = 2(3.14)(5 m)(14.4 m) = (3.14)(144 m²) ≈ 452 m²

Each curved surface of the tube has an area of about 452 m².
