The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height `14\ c m`is `88\ c m^2`. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

Explanation

Height of cylinder `h=14 cm`
Radius of cylinder`=r`
Curved Surface Area of cylinder`=88 cm^2`
Let the diameter of the cylinder be `d`
Curved Surface Area`= 2pirh`
`2pirh =88 cm^2`
`2×(22/7)×r×14=88`
`88r=88`
`r=1`
Radius of the cylinder`=1 cm`
Diameter of the cylinder `d=2r=2times1=2 cm`
`therefore` The diameter of the base of the cylinder`=2 cm`
