Question:

A company is manufacturing cylindrical containers to store food items. The container has a
radius of 7 cm and a height of 20 cm.

● Find the surface area of the container (including top and bottom).
● Find the volume of the container.

Solution:

1. Surface Area of a Cylinder:


The surface area AAA of a cylinder with radius rrr and height hhh is given by:
A=2πr(h+r)A = 2\pi r(h + r)A=2πr(h+r)
Substituting the values r=7r = 7r=7 cm and h=20h = 20h=20 cm,
A=2×3.1416×7×(20+7)=2×3.1416×7×27=1188.97 cm2A = 2 \times 3.1416 \times 7 \
times (20 + 7) = 2 \times 3.1416 \times 7 \times 27 = 1188.97 \
text{ cm}^2A=2×3.1416×7×(20+7)=2×3.1416×7×27=1188.97 cm2
So, the surface area is approximately 1188.97 cm².
2. Volume of a Cylinder:
The volume VVV of a cylinder is given by:
V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 hV=πr2h
Substituting the values r=7r = 7r=7 cm and h=20h = 20h=20 cm,
V=3.1416×72×20=3.1416×49×20=3078.76 cm3V = 3.1416 \times 7^2 \times 20 =
3.1416 \times 49 \times 20 = 3078.76 \
text{ cm}^3V=3.1416×72×20=3.1416×49×20=3078.76 cm3
So, the volume is approximately 3078.76 cm³.

Question:

A park has a rectangular area where the length is 5 meters more than its width. The area of the
park is 150 square meters.

● Find the dimensions of the park.

Solution:

Let the width of the park be xxx meters.


Then the length of the park is x+5x + 5x+5 meters.
The area of the park is given by the equation:
x(x+5)=150x(x + 5) = 150x(x+5)=150

Expanding the equation:

x2+5x−150=0x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0x2+5x−150=0

This is a quadratic equation. To solve it, we use the quadratic formula:

x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}x=2a−b±b2−4ac

Here, a=1a = 1a=1, b=5b = 5b=5, and c=−150c = -150c=−150.


Substituting these values into the formula:

x=−5±52−4(1)(−150)2(1)x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4(1)(-150)}}


{2(1)}x=2(1)−5±52−4(1)(−150) x=−5±25+6002x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25 +
600}}{2}x=2−5±25+600 x=−5±6252x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{625}}
{2}x=2−5±625 x=−5±252x = \frac{-5 \pm 25}{2}x=2−5±25

Thus, x=−5+252=10x = \frac{-5 + 25}{2} = 10x=2−5+25=10 or


x=−5−252=−15x = \frac{-5 - 25}{2} = -15x=2−5−25=−15.
Since dimensions can't be negative, x=10x = 10x=10.
So, the width of the park is 10 meters, and the length is 10+5=1510 + 5 = 1510+5=15
meters.

meters.)

Day-to-Day Life
1. Surface Area and Volume Applications:
○ Construction: Calculating the surface area and volume of tanks, buildings, and
swimming pools is essential in construction.
○ Packaging: Companies need to know the surface area to design the correct
amount of packaging for cylindrical cans or boxes.
○ Medicine: In pharmaceuticals, the volume of liquid medicines needs to be
measured accurately to ensure proper dosages.
2. Quadratic Equations Applications:
○ Physics: The motion of objects under the influence of gravity follows a quadratic
equation. For example, the height of a thrown ball can be modeled using
quadratic equations.
○ Business and Economics: Companies use quadratic equations to model profit
and cost functions and optimize business strategies.
○ Architecture: Designing parabolic arches involves solving quadratic equations.
