Which formula gives the curved surface area of a cylinder with base radius r and height h?

Class 8Surface Area of a CylinderMensuration
  • Aπh
  • B2πrh
  • Cπrh
  • D2πr(r + h)

Step-by-Step Solution

Unrolled, the curved surface is a rectangle of length 2π (the base circumference) and breadth , so its area is 2π. π is the volume, and 2π is the total surface area.
Answer: B) 2πrh
