The surface area of a cylinder is approximately 640.56 square meters. The radius of the cylinder is 5 meters less than the height of the cylinder. To the nearest whole meter, what are the radius and height of the cylinder?

Respuesta :

the radius is approximately 6 meters,

height is approximately 11 meters

The radius of cylinder = 6 meter.

The height of cylinder = 11 meter.

What is cylinder?

A cylinder is a "three-dimensional object with two round flat bases and one curved side. It has a curved surface in the middle. The base and the top surface are identical".

According to the question,

Surface area of the cylinder = 640.56 m²

Let the height of the cylinder = x meters

Let the radius of the cylinder = (x-5)meters

Formula for surface area of cylinder = 2πrh ( where 'r' is the radius of the cylinder and 'h' height of the cylinder)

640.56 = 2(3.14)(x-5)(x)

640.56/(6.28) = x² - 5x

x² - 5x =102

x² - 5x - 102 =0

using quadratic equation, [-b±√(b² - 4ac)]/2a.

b = -5; a=1; c=102

x =[-(-5) ±√(-5)² - 4(1)(102)]/2

 = [5 ± √433]/2

x = 11 and -7

since x=-7 neglect negative value, we get x=11.

The height of the cylinder is 11 meters

The radius of the cylinder is  (11 - 5) = 6 meters.

Hence, The radius of cylinder = 6 meter.

The height of cylinder = 11 meter.
