The curve surface area of a cylinder, 5cm high is 110cm 2. Find the radius of its base. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]
A
2.6cm
B
3.5cm
C
3.6cm
D
7.0cm
correct option: b
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2\(\pi\)rh

110 = 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x r x 5

r = \(\frac{110 \times 7}{44 \times 5}\)

= 3.5cm
