Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 1991

A cylinder of base radius 4cm is open at one end . If the ratio of the area of its base to that of its curved surface is 1:4, calculate the height of the cylinder
A
1cm
B
2cm
C
4cm
D
8cm
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
r= 4cm; base area = \(\pi\)r2; Curve S.A = 2\(\pi\)rh

\(\frac{base area}{curved area}\) = 1/4; \(\pi\)/2\(\pi\)rh

=h = \(\frac{4 x 4cm}{2}\)

h= 8cm
