Raghu had to make a cylindrical aluminium tube. What is the area of the aluminium sheet required to make the tube if the length of the tube is 1 m and base radius is 3.5 cm? [Take π=227]
2200 cm2
Since, a tube is hollow, we require curved surface area and not total surface area.
Curved surface area of cylindrical tube =2πrh=2×227×3.5×100 [1m=100 cm]
=2200 cm2.
So, the area of the aluminium sheet required to make the tube =2200 cm2
