If the length of radius of a right circular cylinder is doubled and height is halved, the lateral surface area will be
- Aequal
- Bdouble
- Chalf
- D4 times
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The lateral (or curved) surface area of a right circular cylinder with radius and height is given by:
Let the new radius be and the new height be .
The new lateral surface area is:
Thus, the lateral surface area remains equal.
Let the new radius be and the new height be .
The new lateral surface area is:
Thus, the lateral surface area remains equal.
