Two similar cylinders have surface areas of 40 π square feet and 90 π square feet. What is the ratio of the height of the large cylinder to the height of the small cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the equation for surface area of a cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Volume = Bh x area of base x height Surface Area = 2B x Ch = (2 x area of base) x (circumference height)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, so with that known...with them being 40pi and 90pi, what is the height of each?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we don't know the height unfortunately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just 40pi and 90 pi respectively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay, thank you for your help though
