# The Radius of the Base and the Height of a Solid Right Circular Cylinder Are in the Ratio 2 : 3 and Its Volume is 1617 Cm3. Find the Total Surface Area of the Cylinder. - Mathematics

Sum

The radius of the base and the height of a solid right circular cylinder are in the ratio 2 : 3 and its volume is 1617 cm3. Find the total surface area of the cylinder.

#### Solution

Let the radius of the cylinder be 2x cm and its height be 3x cm.

Then,Volume of the cylinder=pi"r"^2"h"

=22/7xx(2x)^2xx3x

Therefore,

22/7xx(2x)^2xx3x=1617

=>22/7xx4x^2xx3x=1617

=> 22/7xx12x^3 = 1617

=>x^3=(1617+7/22xx12)

=> x^3=(7/2xx7/2xx7/2)

=> x^3 = (7/2)^3

=> x = 7/2

Now, r = 7 cm and "h" = 21/2  "cm"

Hence,the total surface area of the cylinder:

(2πrh + 2πr2)

= 2πr(h + r)

= 2xx22/7xx7xx(21/2+7)"cm"^

= (2xx(22)/7xx7xx(35)/2) "cm"^2

= 770 cm

Is there an error in this question or solution?
