Right Circular Cylinder Question 1:
The volume of a solid cylinder is 5852 cm3 and its height is 38 cm. What is the total surface area of the solid cylinder? (Round your answer to the nearest integer)
(Use \(\pi\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\))
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
Volume of cylinder (V) = 5852 cm3
Height of cylinder (h) = 38 cm
Value of \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)
Formula used:
Volume of a cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)
Total Surface Area of a solid cylinder = \(2\pi r(r + h)\)
Where r = radius
Calculations:
First, find the radius (r) using the volume formula:
V = \(\pi r^2 h\)
5852 = \(\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 38\)
⇒ r2 = \(\frac{5852 \times 7}{22 \times 38}\)
⇒ r2 = \(\frac{40964}{836}\)
⇒ r2 = 49
⇒ r = \(\sqrt{49}\)
⇒ r = 7 cm
Now, calculate the Total Surface Area (TSA) of the cylinder:
TSA = \(2\pi r(r + h)\)
⇒ TSA = \(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + 38)\)
⇒ TSA = \(2 \times 22 \times 45\)
⇒ TSA = \(44 \times 45\)
⇒ TSA = 1980 cm2
∴ The total surface area of the solid cylinder is 1980 cm2.
Right Circular Cylinder Question 2:
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 9 : 5, respectively, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 280 cm. If the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the top surface of a solid cylinder, then find the curved surface area of the cylinder given that its radius is 120% of its height.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 2 Detailed Solution
Find Length and Breadth of the Rectangle
Let length= 9x, breadth= 5x.
Perimeter = 2(9x + 5x) = 280
2(14x) = 280 ⟹ 28x = 280 ⟹ x = 10
Thus,
Length = 9x = 90 cm, Breadth = 5x = 50 cm
Area of rectangle = 90 × 50 = 4500 cm2.
The top surface of the cylinder is a circle with area πr2
Given:
πr2 = 4500 ⟹ r2 = 4500π
Given: Radius r = 120% of height h, so:
r = 1.2h ⟹ h = r / 1.2 = 5r / 6
Now, let's find the Curved Surface Area of Cylinder:
Curved surface area = 2πrh
Substitute, h = 5r / 6:
CSA = 2πr(5r/6) = 10πr2 / 6 = 5πr2 / 3
Since πr2 = 4500:
CSA = 5 x 4500 / 3 = 7500 cm2
Thus, the correct answer is 7500 cm2.
Right Circular Cylinder Question 3:
If the radius of a cylinder is decreased by 50% and the height is increased by 50% to form a new cylinder, then the volume will be decreased by
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Original radius of the cylinder = r
Original height of the cylinder = h
New radius = 50% decrease = r - 0.5r = 0.5r
New height = 50% increase = h + 0.5h = 1.5h
Formula Used:
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
Calculation:
Original volume = πr2h
New volume = π(0.5r)2(1.5h)
⇒ New volume = π(0.25r2)(1.5h)
⇒ New volume = 0.375πr2h
Decrease in volume = Original volume - New volume
⇒ Decrease = πr2h - 0.375πr2h
⇒ Decrease = (1 - 0.375)πr2h
⇒ Decrease = 0.625πr2h
Percentage decrease = (Decrease / Original volume) × 100
⇒ Percentage decrease = (0.625πr2h / πr2h) × 100
⇒ Percentage decrease = 0.625 × 100
⇒ Percentage decrease = 62.5%
The volume will be decreased by 62.5%.

A rectangular sheet of 31.4 cm x 10 cm size is rolled across its length to make a cylinder without overlap. What will be the approximate volume of the cylinder?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of rectangular sheet = 31.4 cm
Breadth of rectangular sheet = 10 cm
Formula used:
Circumference of the base of the cylinder = Length of the sheet
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
Where, r = radius of the base, h = height
Calculation:
Length of the sheet = Circumference of the base = 2πr
⇒ 31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r
⇒ r = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14)
⇒ r = 5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet = 10 cm
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × (5)2 × 10
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × 25 × 10
⇒ Volume = 785 cm3
∴ The correct answer is option (1).

The ratio between the height and radius of the base of a cylinder is 7 ∶ 5.
Volume is 14836.5 cm3
Formula used:
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
TSA of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
Calculation:
Let the height be 7x and radius be 5x
According to the question,
Volume = π (5x)2 × 7x
⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x
⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x
⇒ 175x3 = 14836.5/3.14
⇒ x3 = 4725/175
⇒ x3 = 27
⇒ x = 3
Now,
Radius = 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 cm
Height = 7x = 7 × 3 = 21 cm
For TSA of cylinder,
TSA = 2(3.14) × 15 × (15 + 21)
⇒ TSA = 6.28 × 15 × 36
⇒ TSA = 3391.2 cm2
∴ The TSA of the cylinder is 3391.2 cm2.

Total surface area of the cylinder = 1716 cm2
Concept used:
Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(h + r)
Volume = πr2h
Here,
r = radius
h = height
Calculation:
Let the radius and the height of the cylinder be r and h,
According to the question,
2πr(h + r) = 1716 ----(i)
(h + r) = 39 ----(ii)
Putting the value of eq (ii) in eq (i) we get,
2πr × 39 = 1716
⇒ 2πr = 1716/39
⇒ 2πr = 44
⇒ πr = 22
⇒ r = 22 × (7/22)
⇒ r = 7
So, radius = 7 cm
Now, by putting the value of r in the eq (ii) we get
h + 7 = 39
⇒ h = 32
So, height = 32 cm
