Question 33

Mensuration of Solids

A cylindrical pipe 50 m long with radius 7 m has one end open. What is the total surface area of the pipe?

  1. A.700π m2
  2. B.98π m2
  3. C.350π m2
  4. D.749π m2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (749π m2)

Explanation

Curved surface = 2πrh = 2π × 7 × 50 = 700π. One closed end adds πr2 = 49π. Total = 749π m2.
