26 An open cardboard cylinder has radius 1.9 cm and height 10.2 cm

Cylinder with radius 1.9 cm and height 10.2 cm

(a) Harry assumes that the net of the cylinder is a rectangle with length \(l\) cm

Not drawn accurately

Rectangle with length l cm and height 10.2 cm

Work out the area of this rectangle. [3 marks]

In fact, the net is a parallelogram, not a rectangle.

Not drawn accurately

Parallelogram with top side l cm and perpendicular height 10.2 cm

(b) What does this mean about the area of the net?

Tick one box. [1 mark]

It is less than the area of the rectangle
It is equal to the area of the rectangle
It is more than the area of the rectangle

Tick one box. [1 mark]

It is less than the perimeter of the rectangle
It is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle
It is more than the perimeter of the rectangle
