The circumference of the base of a cylinder is 24π mm. A similar cylinder has a base with circumference of 60π mm. The lateral area of the larger cylinder is 210π mm2. What is the lateral area of the smaller cylinder? 17.1π mm2 33.6π mm2 60π mm2 84π mm2

Step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If the two cylinders are similar

then

The ratio between the circumference of the larger cylinder to the circumference of the smaller cylinder is equal to the scale factor

Step 2

Find the lateral area of the smaller cylinder

we know that

If the two cylinders are similar

then

The ratio between the lateral area of the larger cylinder to the lateral area of the smaller cylinder is equal to the scale factor squared

Let

x> the lateral area of the larger cylinder

y> the lateral area of the smaller cylinder

z> the scale factor

In this problem we have

substitute in the formula and solve for y

therefore

the answer is

33.6π mm2

333333333333333333333333333333

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is two. hope this !
