What is the volume of a right circular cylinder whose curved surface area is 12 π cm2 and the circumference of its base is 4 π cm? |
48π cm3 36π cm3 12π cm3 24π cm3 |
12π cm3 |
We know that, Curved surface area = 2πrh Circumference = 2πr The volume of the cylinder = πr2h We have, The curved surface area of right circular cylinder = 12π cm2. Circumference = 4π cm2. So, = 2 × πr = 4 × π = r = 2 cm Curved surface area = 12 × π = 2 × πrh = 12 × π = 2 × 2 × h = 12 = h = 3 cm. Now, The volume of the cylinder = πr2h Volume = π × (2)2 × 3 = 12π cm3 |
