Example Question #73 : 3 Dimensional Geometry
Determine the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 and a height of 9.
Write the formula for the volume of the cylinder.
The answer is:
Example Question #632 : Geometry And Graphs
Find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 6in and a height of 8in.
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
Example Question #631 : Geometry And Graphs
What is the radius of a cylinder if it has a height of and a volume of ?
Recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:
, where is the radius, and is the height.
Plug in the given information and solve for the radius.
The radius of the cylinder is .
Example Question #82 : 3 Dimensional Geometry
Determine the volume of a cylinder with a base area of 10, and a height of 20.
Write the formula for the volume of the cylinder.
The base of a cylinder is a circle, and the area of the circle is .
Substitute the base and height into the equation.
The answer is:
Example Question #632 : Geometry And Graphs
Find the volume of the cylinder with a radius of 7 and a height of 10.
Write the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
Substitute the radius and height into the equation.
The answer is:
Example Question #633 : Geometry And Graphs
Find the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 and a height of 30.
Write the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
Substitute the dimensions.
The answer is:
Example Question #36 : Volume Of A Cylinder

Write the formula for a cylinder.
Substitute the dimensions.
The answer is:
Example Question #37 : Volume Of A Cylinder
Find the volume of the cylinder with a base area of 9, and a height of .
Write the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
The base is a circular shape, and its area is already provided. This means we can substitute the base area for .
The answer is:
Example Question #1602 : Ged Math
You are filling a cylindrical hole with concrete, and need to know how much concrete to mix. If the hole is deep and has a radius of 6 inches, what volume of concrete will be needed to fill the hole?
You are filling a cylindrical hole with concrete, and need to know how much concrete to mix. If the hole is deep and has a radius of , what volume of concrete will be needed to fill the hole?
Our formula for volume of a cylinder is:
Now, before we start plugging stuff in, we need to have all our measurements be in the same units. Let's switch to feet so that we are consistent.
Now, let's plug it in and solve:
So, we need
of concrete
Example Question #631 : Geometry And Graphs
In order for Helen to clean her cylindrical fish tank, she must first empty out half the water. If the fish tank has a radius of inches and a height of inches, what is the volume of water, in cubic inches, that she will need to empty? Let .
Recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:
Since Helen is only taking out half the water, we will need to find half the volume of the cylindrical fish tank. Thus, we can write the following equation:
Plug in the given radius and height to find the volume of water that Helen needs to remove.
