The curved surface area of a cylinder 5cm high is 110cm2. Find the radius of its base

π = (\frac{22}{7})

A
2.6cm
B
3.5cm
C
3.6cm
D
7.0cm

Correct Option: B

The curved surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula:

CSA = 2πrh,

where r is the radius and h is the height. Given that CSA = 110 cm2 and h = 5 cm, and using \(π = \frac{22}{7}\), we can solve for r:

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

110 = \(\frac{220}{7}\) * r

r = \(\frac{110 * 7}{220}\) = 3.5 cm.
