Area of Hollow Cylinder

Parts of a Cylinder - Curved and Total
Surface Area of a Hollow Cylinder
A solid surface produced by a line moving
parallel to a xed line, while its end describes a
closed gure in a plane is called a cylinder. A
cylinder is the limiting case of a prism. This old-
fashioned view is utilized in fundamental
utilizations of geometry, yet the unpredictable
numerical perspective has moved to the endless
curvilinear surface and this is the manner by
which a cylinder is currently all around
characterized in a few present-day parts of
geometry and topology. The shift in the
straightforward meaning has created some
uncertainty with terminology.

If a line is perpendicular to the base, the cylinder

is called a Right cylinder, otherwise, it is called an
oblique cylinder. The line joining the centers of
the bases is called the axis of the cylinder. A
hollow cylinder is a cylinder which is vacant from
inside and has some di erence between the
internal and external radius.

Parts of a cylinder:

Base and side

A cylinder is a solid that is common to see in

regular day to day existence, for example, a
straw. In the event that you dismantle it, you
discover it has two closures, called bases, that
are normally roundabout. The bases are
consistent and parallel to one another. If you
somehow managed to 'unroll' the cylinder you
would locate the side is really a rectangle shape

when straightened out.

Height

The height h is the perpendicular distance

between the 2 bases. It is important to use the
perpendicular height ('altitude') when we

The radius r of a cylinder is the radius of the

base. If you are given the diameter instead, USE APP Sign In

Deducing the formulae of areas of a hollow

cylinder:

If R is the outer radius of the cylinder and r is the

inner radius of the cylinder, then

Example:

Find the weight, lateral surface area and total

surface area of a steel pipe whose interior and
exterior diameters measure 15cm and 17cm
respectively, and length 10m; one cubic cm of
iron weighing 0.8gm.

Solution:

Here d = 15cm r = 7.5cm

D = 17cm R = 8.5cm
h = 10m = 1000cm

Volume = π(R2-r2 )h
               = π(72.25 – 56.25)1000
               = 50265.48 cm3.

Weight = Volume x density = 50265.48 x 0.8 =

40212.39 gms

Lateral surface area = 2π(R + r)h

                                     = 2π(8.5 + 7.5)1000
        = 2π x 16 x 1000
        = 100530.96 cm2.

Total surface area of the pipe = Lateral surface

area of pipe + Area of bases
    =100530.96 + 100.53
    = 100631.49 cm2.

Example:

A hollow cylinder copper pipe is 21dm long. Its

outer diameter and inner diameter are 10cm
and 6cm respectively. Find the volume of copper
used in manufacturing the pipe.

Solution:

Given that:

The height of the cylindrical pipe is h = 21dm =

210cm

Example:

The inner radius of a circular well is 2.1 m and its

depth is 21 m. Find the cost of plastering the
inner surface of a circular well at the rate of Rs.
40 per m2

Solution:

Given: Radius of the circular well (r) = 2.1 m,

depth (h) = 21 m

Here we need to plaster the inner surface of the

well which is the sum of Curved surface area and
Area of the base.  

Area to be plastered = Curved surface area +

Area of base
                   = 2 πrh + πr2
                   = 2 x 22/7 x 2.1 x 21 + 22/7 x (2.1)2
                   = 277.2 + 13.86
                   = 291.06 m2

Cost of 1 m2 of well = Rs. 40

Cost of 291.06 m2of well = Rs. (40 × 291.06) = Rs.
