A rectangle of length and breadth is rotated about its shorter side to form a cylinder. What is the volume (in ) of the cylinder so generated? (Take )
- A3234
- B2156
- C4312
- D5390
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Given a rectangle with:Length () = Breadth () = When the rectangle is rotated about its shorter side (breadth = ):The shorter side becomes the height of the cylinder: The longer side becomes the radius of the base of the cylinder: The formula for the volume () of a cylinder is:
Substitute the values:
