Mensuration of Solids

Find the total area of the surface of a solid cylinder whose base radius is 4cm and height is 5cm

  1. A.56πcm2
  2. B.72πcm2
  3. C.96πcm2
  4. D.192πcm2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (72πcm2)

Explanation

Total surface = 2πr2 + 2πrh = 2π(16) + 2π(4)(5) = 32π + 40π = 72πcm2.
