Given : a right circular cone of base radius 4cm and height 10cm. A cylinder is to be placed inside the cone with one of the flat surfaces resting on the base of the cone.
To Find : the largest possible total surface area of the cylinder
Solution:
Let say Cylinder radius = r and height = h
A
Height above cylinder in cone = 10 - h
total surface area of the cylinder A = 2πrh + 2πr²
r/4 = (10-h) /10
=> 2.5r = 10 - h
=> h = 10 - 2.5r
A = 2πrh + 2πr²
A = 2πr(10 - 2.5r) + 2πr²
A = 20πr - 5πr² + 2πr²
A = 20πr - 3πr²
dA/dr = 20π - 6πr
dA/dr = 0
=> 20π - 6πr = 0
=> r = 20//6 = 10/3
d²A/dr² = -6π < 0 hence Surface area id maximum when r = 10/3
r = 10/3
h = 10 - 2.5r = 5/3
A = 20πr - 3πr² = 20π(10/3) - 3π(10/3)²
= 200π/3 - 100π/3
= 100π/3 cm²
largest possible total surface area of the cylinder = 100π/3 cm²
