NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual – Surface Area of a Cylinder

NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual – Surface Area of a Cylinder

Objective
To find the curved surface area and total surface area of a cylinder experimentally.

Prerequisite Knowledge

1. Area of a rectangle.
2.  Area of a circle.
3.  Concept of surface area of a cylinder.

Materials Required
A white chart paper, a cylinder made of paper, a pair of scissors, a ruler, fevicol.

Procedure

1.  Remove the top and bottom circles of the cylinder.
2. Make a vertical cut in the curved surface and lay the cylinder flat to get a rectangle as shown.
3.  Measure the length and breadth of the rectangle so formed.

Observation

1. Top and bottom of cylinders are circles.
   Therefore Area of 2 circles = , where r is the radius of base circle of cylinder
2.  Length of rectangle = circumference of base of cylinder = r
3.  Breadth of rectangle = height = h
4.  Area of rectangle = x h = curved surface area of cylinder
5.  Total surface area of cylinder = + 
   = 

Result
Curved surface area of a cylinder = 
Total surface area of a cylinder =   (h+r)

Learning Outcome
This activity’ clears the concept of curved surface area (lateral surface area) and total surface area of a cylinder.

Activity Time
Calculate the total surface area in terms of radius, where ‘tf represents the diameter of the cylinder.
