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.
Which of the above statement(s) is / are true:
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.
Which of the above statement(s) is / are true:
Solution
Curved Surface Area of a cylinder where is the radius and is the height.
For the original cylinder:
Height
Curved Surface Area
When height is doubled:
New height
New Curved Surface Area
The ratio of new to original curved surface area:
The curved surface area is doubled.
Statement I is true.
For a hemispherical solid, the total surface area includes the curved surface and the flat circular base.
Total Surface Area
For the original hemisphere:
Radius
Total Surface Area
When radius is doubled:
New radius
New Total Surface Area
The ratio of new to original total surface area:
The total surface area becomes fourfold.
Statement II is true.
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
