The sum of the altitude and the base radius of a cylinder is 63 cm. The radius is 4/5 as long as the altitude. Calculate the surface area volume of the cylinder?

Surface area of cylinder is 5544 sq.cm. and Volume of cylinder is 86240 cc.

Explanation:

Let the altitude be h, as radius is 4/5 of height, it is (4h)/5. But sum of altitude and radius is 63, hence

h+(4h)/5=63 or (5h)/5+(4h)/5=63 or (9h)/5=63

Therefore h=63xx5/9=7cancel(63)xx5/cancel9=35

Hence altitude is 35 cm and radius is 63-35=28 cm.

Assume pi=22/7#, hence surface area of cylinder given by

pir(r+h)=22/7xx28xx63

= 22/cancel7xx4cancel(28)xx63=88xx63=5544 sq.cm.

Volume of cylinder is pir^2h=22/7xx28xx28xx35

= 22/cancel7xx4cancel(28)xx28xx35=86240 cc.
