Let the circumference be (x-3) and the height be x:

circumference*height = curved surface area

(x-3)*x = 54 square cm

x2-3x = 54

x2-3x-54 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation works out as:

x = -6 or x = 9 it must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative.

Therefore: height = 9 cm and circumference = 6 cm

Check: 6*9 = 54 square cm

What effect does tripling the height of a cylinder have on the cylinder's curved surface area?

The surface area of the curved part of a cylinder is pi*r2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. If the height is tripled, the area becomes pi*r2(3h), or 3(pi*r2h). So if the height is tripled, the area of the curved surface is also tripled.


What is the length of a rectangle formed from the lateral surface of a cylinder?

The length of a rectangle formed from the lateral surface of a cylinder is equal to the circumference of the cylinder's base. This circumference can be calculated using the formula ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( r ) is the radius of the cylinder. The height of the cylinder corresponds to the height of the rectangle. Thus, the rectangle's dimensions are the circumference of the base for its length and the height of the cylinder for its height.
