QUESTION 8
A cylindrical right prism has a radius of 𝑟 cm and a height of ℎ cm. The dimensions are
restricted in such a way that the sum of the circumference of its base and its height is always
equal to 21 cm.
𝑟
The following formulae may be used:
Volume of a Cylinder = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
ℎ
Total Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2𝜋𝑟 2 + 2𝜋𝑟ℎ
8.1 Show that the height of the cylinder can be expressed as:
ℎ = 21 − 2𝜋𝑟 (1)
8.2 Hence, show that the volume of the cylinder is obtained by:
V = 21𝜋𝑟 2 − 2𝜋 2 𝑟 3 (2)
8.3 Determine 𝑟 in terms of 𝜋 if the volume is a maximum. (3)

9.2 A gardener is considering a new design for his client’s garden. He has a rectangular
piece of lawn measuring 5 m by 3 m, and he wants to dig up a part of it to include a
flower bed. He draws a plan of the lawn and flower bed on a piece of graph paper,
taking the bottom and left-hand edges as the axes, and chooses a scale such that 1 unit
along each axis represents 1 metre on the ground.
Flower bed
