The volume of a cylinder of radius 14cm is 210cm3. What is the curved surface area of the cylinder?
15cm2
30cm2
616cm2
1262cm2

Explanation

\(V = \pi r^2 h\)
210 = \(\frac{22}{7} \times 14^2 \times\) h 
h = \(\frac{210}{22 \times 28}\)
Curved surface area  = 2\(\pi\) rh
= 2 \(\times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times \frac{210}{22 \times 26} = 30cm^2\)
