FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate the total surface area of a cylinder?
Back
The total surface area (TSA) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula: TSA = 2πr(h + r), where r is the radius and h is the height.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a cylinder has a radius of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm, what is its lateral surface area?
Back
Using the formula LSA = 2πrh, LSA = 2π(5)(10) = 100π cm² ≈ 314.16 cm².

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the height of a cylinder if its lateral surface area is 200 m² and the radius is 10 m?
Back
Using the formula LSA = 2πrh, we can rearrange to find h: h = LSA / (2πr) = 200 / (2π(10)) = 3.18 m.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the diameter of a cylinder if its radius is 7 cm?
Back
The diameter (d) is twice the radius: d = 2r = 2(7) = 14 cm.
