Minimum painting surface A metal cistern in the shape of a right circular cylinder with volume V = 50 m3 needs to be painted each year to reduce corrosion. The paint is applied only to surfaces exposed to the elements (the outside cylinder wall and the circular top). Find the dimensions r and h of the cylinder that minimize the area of the painted surfaces.
