Question

The height of a cylinder is 3 inches and the radius of the circular end of the cylinder is 3 inches. Give the volume and surface area of the cylinder.

Answer

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of one end of the cylinder (base) by its height or:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$$

where is the radius of the circular end of the cylinder and is the height of the cylinder. So we can write:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$=\pi \times $3^2$\times $3=84.82in^3$$

The surface area of the cylinder is given by:

$A=2\pi $r^2$+2\pi rh$

where is the surface area of the cylinder, is the radius of the cylinder and is the height of the cylinder. So we can write:

$A=2\pi $r^2$+2\pi rh$

$A=2\pi $(3)^2$+2\pi \times 3\times 3$

$A=18\pi+18\pi$

$A=36\pi$

Question

The height of a cylinder is two times the length of the radius of the circular end of a cylinder. If the volume of the cylinder is $16\pi$ , what is the height of the cylinder?

Answer

The volume of a cylinder is:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$$

where is the radius of the circular end of the cylinder and is the height of the cylinder.

Since , we can substitute that into the volume formula. So we can write:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$$

$16\pi=\pi $r^2$\cdot (2r)$

$16\pi =2\pi $r^{3}$$

So we get:

$h=2r=2\times 2=4$

Question

The end (base) of a cylinder has an area of $16\pi$ square inches. If the height of the cylinder is half of the radius of the base of the cylinder, give the volume of the cylinder.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The area of the end (base) of a cylinder is $\pi $r^2$$ , so we can write:

$\pi $r^2$=16\pi\Rightarrow $r^2$=16\Rightarrow r=4\ inches$

The height of the cylinder is half of the radius of the base of the cylinder, that means:

$h=\frac{r}{2}$=\frac{4}{2}$=2\ inches$

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of one end of the cylinder (base) by its height:

$Volume=Area\times h=16\pi\times 2=32\pi$

or

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$=\pi\times $4^2$\times 2=32\pi$

Question

A cylinder has a diameter of inches and a height of inches. Find the volume, in cubic inches, of this cylinder.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

$\text{Volume of cylinder}$=\pi \times $$\text{radius}$^2$ \times $\text{height}$

Since we are given the diameter, divide that value in half to find the radius.

$$\text{radius}$=8\div2=4$

Now plug this value into the equation for the volume of a cylinder.

$$\text{Volume}$=\pi \times $4^4$ \times 2$

$$\text{Volume}$=\pi \times 32=100.5$

Question

Find the volume of the cylinder if the circular base has an area of $\pi$ , and the height of the cylinder is also $\pi$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Write the formula for volume of a cylinder.

$V=\pi $r^2$ h$

Remember that area of a circle is $A=\pi $r^2$$

Since the area of the circle is known, substitute the area into the formula.

$V=\pi(\pi)= $\pi^2$$

Question

The height of a cylinder is 3 inches and the radius of the circular end of the cylinder is 3 inches. Give the volume and surface area of the cylinder.

Answer

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of one end of the cylinder (base) by its height or:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$$

where is the radius of the circular end of the cylinder and is the height of the cylinder. So we can write:

$Volume=\pi $r^2h$=\pi \times $3^2$\times $3=84.82in^3$$

The surface area of the cylinder is given by:

$A=2\pi $r^2$+2\pi rh$

where is the surface area of the cylinder, is the radius of the cylinder and is the height of the cylinder. So we can write:

$A=2\pi $r^2$+2\pi rh$

$A=2\pi $(3)^2$+2\pi \times 3\times 3$

$A=18\pi+18\pi$

$A=36\pi$
