Problem 660

AIME late
Geometry Difficulty 5.2 Find the answer

A cylinder's total surface area is in the ratio of 7:47: 4 to the area of its base. What is the surface area and volume of the cylinder if the slant height of a cone inscribed in the cylinder is 30 cm30 \mathrm{~cm}?

A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.

Official solution

If the height of a cylinder is mm, and the radius of its base circle is rr, then according to the problem,

(2r2π+2rmπ):2rmπ=7:4 \left(2 r^{2} \pi+2 r m \pi\right): 2 r m \pi=7: 4

which means

r=34m r=\frac{3}{4} m

and

r2+m2=916m2+m2=900 r^{2}+m^{2}=\frac{9}{16} m^{2}+m^{2}=900

from which

m=24 cm, so r=18 cm m=24 \mathrm{~cm}, \quad \text { so } \quad r=18 \mathrm{~cm}

thus

F=2r2π+2rπm=1512πcm2K=r2mπ=7776πcm3 \begin{gathered} F=2 r^{2} \pi+2 r \pi m=1512 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2} \\ K=r^{2} m \pi=7776 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{3} \end{gathered}
