Question
A solid cylinder has a total surface area of 462cm2. Its curved surface area is one-third of its total surface area. Find the radius and height of the cylinder.

Answer
Given that
Curved or lateral surface area = 13 × total surface area
$2\pi\text{rh}=\frac{1}{3}(2\pi\text{rh}+2\pi\text{r}^2)$
$4\pi\text{rh}=2\pi\text{r}^2$
$2\text{h}=\text{r}$
Total surface area = 462cm2
Curved surface area $=\frac{1}{3}\times462$
$2\pi\text{rh}=154$
$2\times3.14\times2\times\text{h}^2=154$
$\text{h}^2=\frac{49}{4}$
$\text{h}=\frac{49}{4}\text{cm}$
$=\frac{7}{2}\text{cm}$
Now r = 2h
Therefore $\text{r}=2\times\text{7}{2}\text{cm}=7\text{cm}$
The height and the radius of the cylinder is $\frac{7}{2}\text{cm}$ and 7cm respectively.
