Question
How can the radius and height of a cylinder be changed so that the surface area is multiplied by $\frac{1}{4} ?$
Step 1
Step 1: First, we need to understand that the surface area of similar cylinders is proportional by a scale factor that is equal to the square of the scale factor of the dimensions. Show more…

Surface area of a cylinder: $S A=2 \pi r^{2}+2 \pi r h$ The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula shown, where $h$ is the height of the cylinder and $r$ is the radius of the base. Find the height of a cylinder that has a radius of $8 \mathrm{cm}$ and a surface area of $1256 \mathrm{cm}^{2} .$ Use $\pi \approx 3.14$
Equations and Inequalities
Linear Equations, Formulas, and Problem Solving
The volume formula for a cylinder is $V=\pi r^{2} h$ Using the symbol $\pi$ in your answer, find the volume of a cylinder with a radius, $r,$ of 4 $\mathrm{cm}$ and a height of 14 $\mathrm{cm} .$
Models and Applications
The surface area, $A,$ of a cylinder in terms of its radius, $r,$ and height, $h,$ is given by $A=2 \pi r^{2}+2 \pi r h$ If the height of the cylinder is 4 feet, express the radius as a function of $V$ and find the radius if the surface area is 200 square feet.
