Q24 of 32 Page 13

A rectangular piece of paper of width 20 cm and length 44 cm is rolled along its width to form a cylinder. What is the volume of the cylinder so formed?

The length of the rectangle becomes the circumference of the base of the cylinder. 
 
∴ 2π r = 44, where r is the radius of the cylinder.
... r =  = 7 cm 
The width of the rectangle becomes the height of the cylinder,  
i.e.  h = 20 cm.
...  Volume = π r2h =× 7 × 7 × 20 cm3 = 3080 cm3
