Lateral Surface Area of a Cylinder

Concept Explanation

Lateral Surface Area of a Cylinder

Lateral surface area of cylinder: The curved surface joining the two bases of a right circular cylinder is called its lateral surface.

The lateral surface area of cylinder = $small 2pi rh ; sq.;units$

Illustration: The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is $88;cm^{2}$ . Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

Solution: Let r be the radius and h be the height of the cylinder.

Then, $2pi rh=88$

$small 2times frac{22}{7}times rtimes 14=88$

$88r =88$

then r = 1 cm

Diameter of cylinder = 2 cm

Illustration: The diameter of a roller 120 cm long is 84 cm. If it takes 500 complete revolutions to level a playground, determine the cost of levelling it at the rate of 30 paise per square meter .

Solution: Clearly, the roller is a right circular cylinder of height h = 120 cm and radius of its base = r = 42 cm

So, area covered by the roller in one revolution = Curved surface area of the roller

$=2times frac{22}{7}times 42 times 120$

$=31680;cm^{2}$

So, area covered by the roller is 500 revolutions $=(31680times 500);cm^{2}$

$=frac{(31680times 500)}{100times 100};m^{2}$

$=1584;m^{2}$

Hence, the cost of levelling the playground = $=Rs;1584times frac{30}{100};m^{2}$

$=Rs;475.20$

We started with lot of hope that Abhyas will help in better understnding of complex topics of highers classes. we are not disappointed with the progress our child has made after attending Abhyas. Though need to mention that we expected a lot more. On a scale of 1-10, we would give may be 7.
