Question 237540: a cyclider of radius r sits snugly inside a cube. Which of the following expressions represents the difference of their LATERAL AREAS?
a)2r^2 (8- pi)
b) 2r (pi - 2)
c) 2r (4- pi)
d) 4r^2 (4- pi)
^2 = squared

If the cylinder with radius 
fits snugly inside the cube, the cube must have an edge length equal to the diameter of the cylinder, or 
.
The lateral surface area of a cube is the area of 4 of the sides:
So for this cube:
^2\ =\ 16r^2)
The lateral surface area of a cylinder is:
But for this cylinder, the height is equal to the edge of the cube, so:
Compute the difference:
