Given:
V=470cm3
We have to find height and radius
V=πr2h=470
h470πr2
Plug this into the surface area equation
SA=πr2+2πrh
=πr2+2πr(470πr2)
=πr2+940r
Differentiate SA and set to 0 solve for r
dSAdr=2πr940r2=0
2πr=940r2
r3=9402x
r3=470π
r=(470π)13
=5.30cm
Now, we find h:
h=470πr2
=470π(5.30)2
=5.32cm
