Answer
Correct Answer: 396 cm3
Explanation
Introduction / Context:From curved surface area (CSA) we can find the radius, and then compute the cylinder’s volume. This checks correct use of CSA and volume formulas with π = 22/7.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Height h = 14 cm
- CSA = 264 cm2
- CSA = 2π r h; Volume V = π r^2 h
- π = 22/7
Concept / Approach:
- Find r from r = CSA / (2πh); then compute V.
Step-by-Step Solution:
r = 264 / (2 * (22/7) * 14) = 264 / (88) = 3 cm.V = (22/7) * 3^2 * 14 = (22/7) * 9 * 14 = 22 * 18 = 396 cm3.Verification / Alternative check:
Check CSA with r=3: 2*(22/7)*3*14 = 264 (consistent).Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- 308/1232/1448 cm3: Result from wrong r or using total surface area mistakenly.
Common Pitfalls:
- Using total surface area formula instead of CSA.
- Not simplifying the fraction with π = 22/7 cleanly.
Final Answer:
396 cm3
