Question

6.
A rectangular metallic
sheet of dimensions 8.8 mx 2
m is rolled along its length to
form a cylinder. What is the
volume of the cylinder?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the curved surface area of a right circular cylinder with radius r and height h is CSA=2πrh.

It is given that the length of the rectangular sheet is l=44 cm and the height of the sheet is h=20 cm. Since the cylinder is formed among the length, therefore, length of rectangular sheet is equal to circumference of base that is:

l=2πr

⇒44=2×

×r

⇒r=

2×22

44×7

=7

Therefore, the radius of the rectangular sheet is 7 cm.

We also know that the volume of a right circular cylinder with radius r and height h is V=πr

h.

Here, the height is h=20 cm and the radius is r=7 cm, therefore,

V=πr

Hence, the volume of the cylinder is 3080 cm
