if the radius of a cylinder is doubled keeping its lateral surface area the same then what is its height
Answers
Let the original radius of a cylinder be (r) and original height of a cylinder be (h).
Original lateral surface area of a cylinder= 2π rh
Radius is doubled then new radius is(R)= 2r
New height of a cylinder= H
New lateral surface area of a cylinder= 2π RH
Original lateral surface area of a cylinder= new lateral surface area of a cylinder
[Given : Lateral surface area of both the cylinders are equal]
2πrh= 2πRH
h= 2H
H= h/2
Hence, the height of a new cylinder is Halved of the original cylinder (h/2).

Hope this will help you...
The lateral surface area of a cylinder is A = 2pi rh. Now since the lateral surface area is kept same, 2pi rh = 4 pi rH. Hence H = h/2. Hence the new height is half the original height
