The curve surface area of a cylinder, 5cm high is 110cm 2. Find the radius of its base. [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]
A
2.6cm
B
3.5cm
C
3.6cm
D
7.0cm
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2\(\pi\)rh
110 = 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x r x 5
r = \(\frac{110 \times 7}{44 \times 5}\)
= 3.5cm
