Question

A sphere is just enclosed inside a right circular cylinder. If the surface area of the sphere is 30 cm2, find the curved surface area of the cylinder.

Answer 1

Volume of the sphere = 4πr²

----------------------------------------------
Find Radius :
----------------------------------------------

`4 \pi r^2 = 30`


`r^2 = (30)/(4 \pi )`


`r = \sqrt{(30)/(4 \pi)`


`r = 1.55 \ cm`

----------------------------------------------
Find curved surface of cylinder :
----------------------------------------------
Area = 2πrh

Area = 2 x π x 1.55 x 2(1.55)

Area = 30.19 cm²

----------------------------------------------
Answer: 30.19 cm²
