Example Question #1052 : Intermediate Geometry

Inscribed

The above diagram shows a sphere inscribed inside a cylinder.

The sphere has a surface area of 100. Give the surface area of the cylinder.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Let  be the radius of the sphere. Then the radius of the base of the cylinder is also , and the height of the cylinder is .

The surface area of the cylinder is 

which, after substituting, is 

The surface area of the sphere is 

Therefore, the ratio of the former to the latter is

and 

That is, the cylinder has surface area  that of the sphere. Therefore, this area is
