The sum of the altitude and the base radius of a cylinder is 63 cm63cm. The radius is 4/545 as long as the altitude. Calculate the surface area volume of the cylinder?

Let y be the altitude, and x be the radius.

Explanation:

x + y = 63x+y=63

4/5y = x45y=x

4/5y + y = 6345y+y=63

(9y)/5 = 639y5=63

9y = 63 xx 59y=63×5

9y = 3159y=315

y = 35y=35

x + 35 = 63x+35=63

x = 63 - 35x=6335

x = 28x=28

The surface area of a cylinder is given by S.A = 2r^2pi + 2rhπ

The radius, r, measures 28 cm.

Therefore, S.A = 2(28)^2pi + 2(28)(35)π

S.A = 1568pi + 1960pi

S.A = 3528pi cm^2

As for the volume, the volume of a cylinder is given by V = r^2π xx h

V = 28^2pi xx 35

V = 27440pi cm^3

Hopefully this helps!
