Example Question #21 : How To Find The Volume Of A Cylinder

Find the volume of a cylinder that has a radius of $\frac{1}{5}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}$ and a height of $\frac{2}{3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$.

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{25}\pi$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{25}\pi$

$\frac{1}{75}\pi$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{75}\pi$

$\frac{2}{75}\pi$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{75}\pi$

$\frac{4}{75}\pi$ $\displaystyle \frac{4}{75}\pi$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{75}\pi$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{75}\pi$

Explanation:

Recall how to find the volume of a cylinder:

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\text{Area of base}\times\text{height}$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\text{Area of base}\times\text{height}$

Since the base of a cylinder is a circle, we can write the following equation:

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

Substitute in the given values to find the volume.

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times (\frac{1}{5})^2\times \frac{2}{3}$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\pi\times (\frac{1}{5})^2\times \frac{2}{3}$

Solve.

$\text{Volume of Cylinder}=\frac{2}{75}\pi$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Cylinder}=\frac{2}{75}\pi$

Example Question #41 : Cylinders

A cylinder has a smaller cylinder cut out of its core as shown by the figure below.

Find the volume of the figure.

Possible Answers:

1425.32 $\displaystyle 1425.32$

1507.96 $\displaystyle 1507.96$

1607.55 $\displaystyle 1607.55$

1236.98 $\displaystyle 1236.98$

Correct answer:

1507.96 $\displaystyle 1507.96$

Explanation:

In order to find the volume of the figure, we will first need to find the volume of both cylinders.

Recall how to find the volume of the cylinder:

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

Now, use the given radius and height to find the volume of the larger cylinder.

$\text{Volume of Larger Cylinder}=\pi\times 7^2 \times 12=588\pi$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Larger Cylinder}=\pi\times 7^2 \times 12=588\pi$

Next, use the given radius and height to find the volume of the smaller cylinder.

$\text{Volume of Smaller Cylinder}=\pi\times 3^2 \times 12=108\pi$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Smaller Cylinder}=\pi\times 3^2 \times 12=108\pi$

Subtract the volume of the smaller cylinder from the volume of the larger one to find the volume of the figure.

$\text{Volume of Figure}=588\pi-108\pi=480\pi=1507.96$ $\displaystyle \text{Volume of Figure}=588\pi-108\pi=480\pi=1507.96$

Make sure to round to $\displaystyle 2$ places after the decimal.
