Answer:

r = 1.59inch

the radius of the cylinder is

1.59inch

Step by step Explanation

lateral surface of a cylinder can be calculated using the below formula

Surface Area= 2 πr h

We were given area as 400inch^2 and height as 40inch then substitute we have

400 = 2 ×π × r ×40

400= 2×22/7×40

Then do the calculation, where, π

=22/7

400 = r × 251.2

Make r subject of formula we have

r = 400 / 251.2

r = 1.59inch

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is

1.59inch
