Question

If the lateral surface area of a cylinder is $140.1 \text{ cm}^2$ and its height is $3 \text{ cm}$, then find its volume. (Use $\pi = 3.14$ and round off to two decimal places.)

The correct answer is
$520.91 \text{ cm}^3$

Given Cylinder Information

  • Lateral Surface Area ($LSA$): $140.1 \text{ cm}^2$
  • Height ($h$): $3 \text{ cm}$
  • Value of $\pi$: $3.14$

Finding Cylinder Radius

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is $LSA = 2 \pi r h$. Use the given values to find the radius ($r$).

  1. Substitute the known values into the $LSA$ formula:

    $140.1 = 2 \times 3.14 \times r \times 3$

  2. Simplify the equation:

    $140.1 = 18.84 \times r$

  3. Solve for $r$:

    $r = \frac{140.1}{18.84}$

    $r \approx 7.4363 \text{ cm}$

Calculating Cylinder Volume

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is $V = \pi r^2 h$. Use the calculated radius and the given height.

  1. Substitute the values of $\pi$, $r$, and $h$ into the volume formula:

    $V = 3.14 \times (7.4363)^2 \times 3$

  2. Calculate the square of the radius:

    $V = 3.14 \times 55.2985 \times 3$

  3. Calculate the final volume:

    $V = 3.14 \times 165.8955$

    $V \approx 520.9122 \text{ cm}^3$

  4. Round the volume to two decimal places:

    $V \approx 520.91 \text{ cm}^3$
