Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: 5544 sq. cm
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Given volume, we find the radius, then compute curved surface area (CSA). Using π = 22/7 simplifies to integer-friendly values in many classic problems.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Step-by-Step Solution:
(4/3) * (22/7) * r^3 = 38808 ⇒ r^3 = 38808 * 3 / (4 * 22/7) = 9261.r = cube_root(9261) = 21 cm.CSA = 4 * (22/7) * r^2 = 4 * (22/7) * 441 = (88/7) * 441 = 88 * 63 = 5544 cm2.Verification / Alternative check:
Compute 21^3 = 9261; back-substitution gives the original volume.Why Other Options Are Wrong:
