Let 

If a cylinder has a height of 7in and a radius of 4in, find the volume.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder, we will use the following formula:

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder. 

We know .

We know the radius of the cylinder is 4in.

We know the height of the cylinder is 7in.

Now, we can substitute. We get

Example Question #632 : Geometry And Graphs

Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 6in and a height of 8in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder, we will use the following formula:

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylinder.

Now, we know the diameter of the cylinder is 6in. We know the diameter is two times the radius. Therefore, the radius is 3in. We know the height of the cylinder is 8in. So, we can substitute. We get
