Example Question #1 : Cylinders
What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 2 and a length that is three times as long as its diameter?
The volume of a cylinder is the base multiplied by the height or length. The base is the area of a circle, which is
. Here, the radius is 2. The diameter is 4. Three times the diameter is 12. The height or length is 12. So, the answer is .Example Question #1 : Cylinders
A water glass has the shape of a right cylinder. The glass has an interior radius of 2 inches, and a height of 6 inches. The glass is 75% full. What is the volume of the water in the glass (in cubic inches)?
The volume of a right cylinder with radius
and height is:
Since the glass is only 75% full, only 75% of the interior volume of the glass is occupied by water. Therefore the volume of the water is:
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder
A circle has a circumference of
and it is used as the base of a cylinder. The cylinder has a surface area of . Find the volume of the cylinder.
Using the circumference, we can find the radius of the circle. The equation for the circumference is
; therefore, the radius is 2.Now we can find the area of the circle using
. The area is .Finally, the surface area consists of the area of two circles and the area of the mid-section of the cylinder:
, where is the height of the cylinder.Thus,
and the volume of the cylinder is .Example Question #1 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder
What is the volume of a cylinder that has a base with a radius of 5 and a height of 52?
To find the volume of a cylinder we must know the equation for the volume of a cylinder which is
In this example the height is 52 and the radius is 5 which we plug into our equation which will look like this
We then square the 5 to get
Then perform multiplication to get
Example Question #761 : Geometry
What is the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 2 cm and a height of 10 cm?
48π cm2
32π cm2
36π cm2
56π cm2
40π cm2
48π cm2
SAcylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2π(2)(10) + 2π(2)2 = 40π + 8π = 48π cm2
Example Question #1961 : High School Math
A cylinder has a radius of
and a height of . What is its volume?
In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, we must utilize the formula
. We were given the radius, , and the height, .Insert the known variables into the formula and solve for volume
.
In essence, we find the area of the cylinder's circular base,
, and multiply it by the height.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder
A cylinder has a radius of
and a height of . What is its volumeNot enough information to solve.
In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, we must utilize the formula
. We were given the radius, , and the height, .Insert the known variables into the formula and solve for volume
.
In essence, we find the area of the cylinder's circular base,
, and multiply it by the height.Example Question #3 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder
A sphere with a radius of
is circumscribed in a cylinder. What is the cylinder's volume?
Not enough information to solve
In order to solve this problem, one key fact needs to be understood. A sphere will take up exactly
of the volume of a cylinder in which it is circumscribed. Therefore, if we find the volume of the sphere we can then solve for the volume of the cylinder.First, we need to find the volume of the sphere.
This equals
of the volume of the cylinder. Therefore,
Example Question #111 : Solid Geometry
