Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the volume of the cylinder, we need to use the given information about the cylinder's dimensions and surface area. Let's break down the problem step by step:

1. **Given Information:**
   - The sum of the radius (r) and height (h) of the cylinder is 20 cm: 
     $$
     r + h = 20
     $$
   - The total surface area of the cylinder is 880 square cm. The formula for the total surface area of a cylinder is:
     $$
     2\pi r (r + h) = 880
     $$

2. **Substitute the Sum of Radius and Height:**
   - From the equation $ r + h = 20 $, substitute into the surface area formula:
     $$
     2\pi r \times 20 = 880
     $$
   - Simplify to find the radius:
     $$
     40\pi r = 880
     $$
     $$
     r = \frac{880}{40\pi} = \frac{22}{\pi}
     $$

3. **Calculate the Height:**
   - Using $ r + h = 20 $ and $ r = \frac{22}{\pi} $:
     $$
     \frac{22}{\pi} + h = 20
     $$
     $$
     h = 20 - \frac{22}{\pi}
     $$

4. **Calculate the Volume:**
   - The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
     $$
     V = \pi r^2 h
     $$
   - Substitute $ r = \frac{22}{\pi} $ and $ h = 20 - \frac{22}{\pi} $:
     $$
     V = \pi \left(\frac{22}{\pi}\right)^2 \left(20 - \frac{22}{\pi}\right)
     $$
   - Simplify:
     $$
     V = \frac{484}{\pi^2} \times \left(20 - \frac{22}{\pi}\right)
     $$
     $$
     V = \frac{484}{\pi^2} \times \left(\frac{20\pi - 22}{\pi}\right)
     $$
     $$
     V = \frac{484 \times (20\pi - 22)}{\pi^3}
     $$
   - After calculating, this results in approximately 2002 cm$^3$.

5. **Conclusion:**
   - The calculated volume of the cylinder is approximately 2002 cm$^3$, which matches Option 3.

**Explanation for Incorrect Options:**

- **Option 1 (1760 cm$^3$)**: This value is lower than the calculated volume. The calculations based on the given surface area and dimensions do not support this volume.
  
- **Option 2 (8800 cm$^3$)**: This value is significantly higher than the calculated volume. The dimensions and surface area constraints do not allow for such a large volume.

- **Option 4 (4804 cm$^3$)**: This value is also higher than the calculated volume. The constraints of the problem do not support this volume.

Thus, Option 3 is the correct answer, as it aligns with the calculations based on the given conditions.
