A cylinder, whose height is $3\ m$, is open from top. The circumference of its base is $22\ m$. Find its total surface area.


Given: A cylinder, whose height is $3\ m$, is open from top. The circumference of its base is $22\ m$.

To do: To find the total surface area of the cylinder.

Solution:

As given 

Let the radius of base be $r\ m$. Then, 

Therefore, circumference of the cylinder base $=2\pi r=22$

$\Rightarrow 2\times\frac{22}{7}\times r=22$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{7}{2}$

$h=3\ m$                 [given]

Total Surface Area $=2 \pi rh+\pi r^2$

$=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\times3+\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}$

$=66+38.5$

$=104.5\ m^2$

Thus, the total surface area is $104.5\ m^2$.
