Hello!

✓ Radius, r = d / 2 = 2. 1 m
✓ Height of the cylinder = 4.5 m

Then,

♦ Lateral surface area of cylinder :

= 2πrh
                                           
= 2 x 22 / 7 × 2. 1 × 4.5 = 59.4 m²

♦ Total surface area of cylinder :

= 2πr (r + h)
                                         
= 2 x 22 / 7 x 2.1 (2.1 + 4.5)
                                          
= 2 x 22 / 7 x 2.1 x (6.6)    
                                         
= 87 .12 m²

Let the amount of steel wasted be = x

∴ Steel wasted = x / 12

Amount of steel required - Amount of steel wasted = TSA

⇒ x - x / 12 = 87. 12

⇒ 11 / 12 x = 87. 12

⇒ x = 87. 12 × 12 / 11 ⇒ x = 95.04 m²

Hence,
95.04 m² sheet was actually used for making the tank.
