Answer:
The surface area of the second cylinder is equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar then
the ratio of their surfaces areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z-------> the scale factor
x------> the surface area of the smaller cylinder (second cylinder)
y-------> the surface area of the original cylinder (first cylinder)
so
Step 1
Find the scale factor
Step 2
Find the surface area of the second cylinder
we have
substitute and solve for x
How about this (see attached image):
Use the four cuts as shown in the image (red lines).
Then assemble 5 equal squares by the numbers: 1 center square and the rest are pieced together using two pieces as shown. All five together add up to the same area as original square because we use all pieces.
The way one gets a hint toward a solution is to see how an area of a square of length 1 can be split into 5 equal square areas:
which indicates we need to find a a triangle with sides 2 and 1 to get the hypotenuse of the right length. That gave rise to the cut pattern (if you look carefully, there are triangles with those side lengths).
