Using π=722, find the total surface area of a closed cylinder having a base radius of 70 m and height of 110 m.
79,200 m²
82,400 m²
82,500 m²
78,500 m²
79,200 m²
Factor out 2πr as 2×722×70=440, then multiply by (r+h)=70+110=180. Calculation: 440×180=79,200 m2.
Base radius r=70 m, Height h=110 m, π=722
TSA=2πr(r+h)
Factor out 2πr as 2×722×70=440, then multiply by (r+h)=70+110=180. Calculation: 440×180=79,200 m2.
Confusing the total surface area formula with the curved surface area formula (2πrh) by forgetting to add the areas of the two circular bases (2πr2).
Identify Given Parameters
The given cylinder is a closed cylinder, meaning it includes both circular top and bottom bases along with the curved surface area.
r=70 m,h=110 m,π=722
State the Total Surface Area Formula
The total surface area (TSA) of a closed cylinder is the sum of the curved surface area and the areas of the two circular bases.
TSA=2πrh+2πr2=2πr(r+h)
Substitute Values into the Formula
Substitute r=70, h=110, and π=722 into the expression.
TSA=2×722×70×(70+110)
Simplify and Calculate
Perform the arithmetic multiplication and addition to find the final surface area.
TSA=2×722×70×180=440×180=79,200 m2
A is correct because the calculated total surface area of the closed cylinder is 79,200 m2.
Always verify whether a cylinder is 'closed' (includes two bases) or 'open' (one base or hollow) before applying surface area formulas in mensuration problems.
