In a cylinder, if radius is doubled and height is halved, curved surface area will be _________.

Open in App
Solution


Let r and h be the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively.

∴ Curved surface of the original cylinder, C1 = 2πrh

If the radius is doubled and height is halved, then

Radius of the new cylinder, R = 2r

Height of the new cylinder, H = h2

∴ Curved surface of the new cylinder, C2 = 2πRH=2π×2r×h2 = 2πrh

Thus, the curved surface area of the new cylinder is same as the curved surface area of the original cylinder.

In a cylinder, if radius is doubled and height is halved, curved surface area will be __same__.
