Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2024

The curved surface area of a cylinder 5 cm high is 110 cm². Find the radius of its base.

Given: \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)

A

2.6cm

B

3.5cm

C

3.6cm

D

7.0cm

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

Formula for curved surface area:

\(CSA = 2\pi r h\)

Given \(CSA = 110\), \(h = 5\):

\(110 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 5\)

\(110 = \frac{220}{7} r\)

\(r = \frac{110 \times 7}{220} = 3.5\) cm
