To find the perimeter of the rectangular sheet formed from the hollow cylinder, we first need to determine the height of the cylinder. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula \( 2\pi rh \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height. Given the lateral surface area is \( 5000 \, \text{cm}^2 \) and the width (which corresponds to the circumference of the base of the cylinder) is \( 50 \, \text{cm} \), we can relate this to the radius: 1. **Circumference formula**: \[ C = 2\pi r = 50 \] From this, \( r = \frac{50}{2\pi} \). 2. **Substituting into the area formula**: Now, we can use the area: \[ 5000 = 2\pi \left(\frac{50}{2\pi}\right)h \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 5000 = 50h \to h = 100 \, \text{cm} \] Now, the rectangular sheet's dimensions will be its width (which we already know) and its height (the height of the cylinder). The width of the sheet is \( 50 \, \text{cm} \) and the height is \( 100 \, \text{cm} \). The perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula: \[ P = 2 \times (\text{width} + \text{height}) \] So, \[ P = 2 \times (50 \, \text{cm} + 100 \, \text{cm}) = 2 \times 150 \, \text{cm} = 300 \, \text{cm} \] Thus, the perimeter of the rectangular sheet is \( 300 \, \text{cm} \).
