Question:

The rectangular paper sheet of length 88 cm and width 11 cm is folded along its length to made a cylinder. Find the radius of the base of the cylinder.

Options:

14 cm

21 cm

7 cm

3.5 cm

Correct Answer:

14 cm

Explanation:

The length of the rectangle becomes circular base of the cylinder, such that circumference of the base of the cylinder will be = 88 cm.

⇒ Circumfrence = 2 \(\pi \) r = 88

⇒ 2 \(\frac{22}{7}\) r = 88

⇒ r = \(\frac{7 × 88}{22 × 2}\) = 14 cm.
