Question

Question 11. The students of a Vidyalaya were asked to participate in a competition for making and
decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base, using cardboard. Each penholder was
to be of radius 3 cm and height 10.5 cm. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with
cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be bought for the
competition?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• So here they mentioned penholder in shape of cylinder with one-side close and other side open
• So total surface area of cylinder is equal to 2πrh + 2πr2
• we have to neglect one πr2 as they said one side is open
• Area required for one penholder is 2πrh + πr2
