Question 1170245: 1.a) Deduce that the total surface area S of a cylinder closed at both ends with height, H and base radius R is given by: S=2πR(R+H) where π is a constant.
b) Find the volume of S given that H =15.0m and R =5.0m (leaving your answer in terms of π)
c) Calculate the amount of water the tank can hold leaving your answer in terms of π.
d) Calculate the height (h) of a cuboid tank of cross-sectional area 25 metre cube which has the same capacity as the cylinder tank in (c) above.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break down this problem step by step.
**1.a) Deduce the Total Surface Area of a Closed Cylinder**
* **Area of the Top and Bottom Circles:** Each circle has an area of πR². Since there are two circles (top and bottom), their combined area is 2πR².
* **Lateral Surface Area (Curved Surface):** Imagine unrolling the side of the cylinder. This forms a rectangle with height H and width equal to the circumference of the base (2πR). Therefore, the lateral surface area is 2πRH.
* **Total Surface Area (S):** To find the total surface area, add the areas of the top, bottom, and lateral surfaces:
S = 2πR² + 2πRH
S = 2πR(R + H)
**1.b) Find the Volume of the Cylinder**
* **Volume Formula:** The volume (V) of a cylinder is given by V = πR²H.
* **Given Values:** H = 15.0 m and R = 5.0 m.
* **Calculation:**
V = π(5.0 m)²(15.0 m)
V = π(25 m²)(15.0 m)
V = 375π m³
**1.c) Calculate the Amount of Water the Tank Can Hold**
The amount of water the tank can hold is equal to its volume.
* **Answer:** The tank can hold 375π m³ of water.
**1.d) Calculate the Height of a Cuboid Tank with the Same Capacity**
* **Cuboid Volume Formula:** The volume of a cuboid is given by V = Area of base × height.
* **Given Information:**
* Volume of the cuboid = Volume of the cylinder = 375π m³
* Cross-sectional area (base area) of the cuboid = 25 m²
* **Calculation:**
375π m³ = 25 m² × h
h = (375π m³) / (25 m²)
h = 15π m
**Answers:**
a) S = 2πR(R + H)
b) V = 375π m³
c) 375π m³
d) h = 15π m

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In your post, in the last question, you write
". . . cross-sectional area 25 metre cube . . . ".
Dear missis or mister writer, the area is NEVER measures in "metre cube ".
The appropriate unit for the area is " square meter ".
As I noticed from your posts, you make this error systematically.
It tells me a lot about mathematical qualification of a person who created this problem.
