The volume of a right circular cylinder of base radius r is obtained by multiplying its curved surface area by:

  1. A
    2
    r
  2. B
    r
    2
  3. C
    2r
  4. D
    2
    r
    2

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the radius of the right circular cylinder be r and its height be h.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder (V) is:

V=πr
2
h
The formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a cylinder is:

CSA=2πrh
We are given that the volume is obtained by multiplying the curved surface area by some factor k:

V=CSA×k
πr
2
h=(2πrh)×k
Solving for k:

k=
2πrh
πr
2
h

=
2
r
