Plugging in our values, we get:
Example Question #1 : Cylinders
What is the surface area of cylinder with a radius of 3 and height of 7?
The surface area of a cylinder can be determined by the following equation:
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 #23 : Cylinders
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 #1 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder
What is the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 2 cm and a height of 10 cm?
56π cm2
32π cm2
40π cm2
48π cm2
36π cm2
48π cm2
SAcylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2π(2)(10) + 2π(2)2 = 40π + 8π = 48π cm2
