The total surface area of a solid cylinder is 231cm^2 and its curved surface area is two-thirds of the total surface area. Find the volume of the cylinder. (Take pi-22/7)

\n" ); document.write( "The total surface area of cylinder:

\n" ); document.write( "Curved surface 2*pi*r*h given as 2/3 of the total
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore
\n" ); document.write( "2(pi*r^2) would be 1/3 the total; which is 231/3 = 77
