Solution
Consider the following statements:
I. If the height of a cylinder is doubled, the area of the curved surface is doubled.
II. If the radius of a hemispherical solid is doubled, its total surface area becomes fourfold.
Statement I: If height of cylinder is doubled, curved surface area is doubled
Curved Surface Area of cylinder = where is radius and is height.
Original CSA =
When height is doubled, new height =
New CSA =
New CSA =
New CSA =
New CSA = Original CSA
Statement I is true. The curved surface area depends directly on height, so doubling the height doubles the surface area.
Statement II: If radius of hemisphere is doubled, total surface area becomes fourfold
Total Surface Area of hemisphere = Curved surface + Flat circular base
Curved surface =
Base area =
TSA =
TSA =
Original TSA =
When radius is doubled, new radius =
New TSA =
New TSA =
New TSA =
New TSA =
New TSA = Original TSA
Statement II is true. When the radius is doubled, the area formulas contain , so , resulting in 4 times the area.
Both statements are true.
Therefore, the answer is Both I & II.
