Example :
The height of a cylinder is three times its radius.
Calculate the approximate increase in the total
surface area of the cylinder if its radius increases
from 7 cm to 7.05 cm.
Solution :
Let the total surface area of the cylinder be A cm².
A = Sum of areas of the top and bottom circular
surface + Area of the curved surface.
