The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m3. Find the ratio of its diameter to its height.
Correct answer: B. 7 : 3
- A. 3 : 7
- B. 7 : 3
- C. 6 : 7
- D. 7 : 6Downloading Interactive Party Trivia Games
Explanation
Using curved surface area 2πrh = 264 m2 and volume πr^2h = 924 m3, division gives r/2 = 924 m3 ÷ 264 m2 = 3.5 m, so r = 7 m. Then 2π(7 m)h = 264 m2 gives h = 6 m, and the diameter-to-height ratio is 14 m : 6 m = 7 : 3. The likely wrong option is 3 : 7, which reverses the requested ratio.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
