The lateral surface area of the cylinder is option A) 251.3 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
- The height of a cylinder is 5 centimeters.
- The diameter of the base of the cylinder is 16 centimeters.
To find the radius of the cylinder :
Radius = Diameter / 2
⇒ 16/2
⇒ 8 centimeters.
- The radius of the cylinder is 8 centimeters.
To find the lateral surface area of the cylinder :
The lateral surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh
where,
- π the default value of 3.14
- r is the radius
- h is the height
∴ The lateral surface area of the cylinder = 2×3.14×8×5
⇒ 251.3 cm²
