It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1m and the base diameter of 140 cm from a metal sheet.

Question:

It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1m and the base diameter of 140 cm from a metal sheet. How many square meters of the sheet are required for the same? (Take π = 3.14).

Solution:

Height of the cylindrical tank (h) = 1 m

Base radius of cylindrical tank (r) = 140/2 = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Area of sheet required =total surface area of tank = 2πrh

= 2 * 3.14 * 0.7(0.7 + 1)

$=4.4^{*} 1.7=7.48 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$

Therefore it will require $7.48 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$ of metal sheet.
