Question

The height of a cylinder is 5 centimeters. The circumference of the base of the cylinder is 16 centimeters. Find the lateral surface area of the figure. Draw the figure if it will help you visualize.

Answer 1

The lateral surface area of the cylinder = 80 sq cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The circumference of the base of the cylinder is 16 cm

So, 2 X pi X r = 16 cm ( where r be the radius of the base)

Now, the lateral surface of the cylinder = 2 X pi X r X H ( where H be the height = 5 cm)

= 16 X 5 sq cm

= 80 sq cm
