Question 26

A cylinder has a radius r r\,r and a height hhh.
The surface area of the cylinder is 500cm2

a.

Show that the volume (V cm3V \text{ cm}^3V cm3) of the cylinder is given by V=250r−πr3V = 250r - \pi r^3V=250r−πr3

[4]
b.

Calculate the maximum value of VVV, to the nearest cm3\text{cm}^3cm3

[6]
c.

Justify that the value of V V\,V you found is a maximum.
