A cylinder has radius 3 m and volume 72π m³; work out its total surface area, giving the result to 3 significant figures.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Volume: π × 3² × h = 72π, so 9h = 72 and h = 8
  2. 2Two circular ends: 2 × π × 3² = 18π
  3. 3Curved surface: 2 × π × 3 × 8 = 48π
  4. 4Total: 18π + 48π = 66π = 207.3…
  5. 5To 3 significant figures: 207
