Height of the cylinder #h= "its volume"/"area of the circular base"#

#=(108pi)/(pix^2)=108/x^2# cm

Total surface area of the solid

#A="Surface area of cylinder"+ "Surface area of the cone" #

#=>A=(2pix*h+pix^2)+pix*3x#

#=>A=2pix*108/x^2+4pix^2=4pix^2+(216pi)/x" "cm^2#

Differentiating w r to x we get

#(dA)/(dx)=8pix-(216pi)/x^2#

For minimum value of #A#, we have #(dA)/(dx)=0#

So #=8pix-(216pi)/x^2=0#

#=>x^3=216/8=27=3^3#

Hence #x=3# cm

So minimum value of surface area

#A_"min"=4pi*3^2+(216pi)/3=108pi# # cm^2#

#"see explanation"#

Explanation:

#(a)#

#"using the following formulae"#

#• " curved surface of cylinder "=2pirh#

#"where r is the radius of the base and h the height"#

#• " curved surface of cone "=pirs#

#"where r is the radius of the base and s the slant height"#

#"surface area "="area of base + curved surface of cylinder/cone"#

#=pir^2+2pirh+pirs#

#"we require to find h using the given volume"#

#V_("cylinder")=pir^2h=108pi#

#rArrh=(108pi)/(pir^2)#

#"substitute "r=x#

#A=pix^2+(2pix xx(108pi)/(pix^2))+pixx x xx3x#

#color(white)(SA)=pix^2+(216pi)/x+3pix^2#

#color(white)(SA)=4pix^2+(216pi)/x#

#(b)#

#"using "color(blue)"differential calculus"#

#A=4pix^2+216pix^-1#

#rArrA'=8pix-216pix^-2#

#rArrA''=8pi+432pix^-3#

#"for max/min set "A'=0#

#rArr8pix-(216pi)/x^2=0larrcolor(blue)"multiply by "x^2#

#rArr8pix^3-216pi=0#

#rArrx^3=(216pi)/(8pi)rArrx=root(3)(216/(8))=3#

#"to determine if this produces a minimum area"#

#"use the "color(red)"second derivative test"#

#• " if "A''>0" then minimum"#

#• " if "A''<0" then maximum"#

#A''(3)=8pi+432/(3)^3>0" hence minimum when "x=3#

#rArr"minimum area "=4pi(3)^2+(216pi)/3=339.29#
