\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the condition, you know that the ratio of surface areas is 0.64 smaller to larger.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the ratio of linear dimensions of the cylinders is   = 0.8  smaller to larger.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now, you are given that the height of the larger cylinder is 200 cm.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the height of the smaller is 0.8 of it, i.e.  0.8*200 = 160 cm.   ANSWER\r\n" );
