Example Question #342 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 6 meters and a height of 11 meters? Use 3.14 for .
Note: The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
To calculate the volume, you must plug into the formula given in the problem. When you plug in, it should look like this: . Multiply all of these out and you get . The units are cubed because volume is always cubed.
Example Question #343 : Isee Upper Level (Grades 9 12) Quantitative Reasoning
The volume of a cylinder whose height is twice the diameter of its base is one cubic yard. Give its radius in inches.
The volume of a cylinder with base radius and height is
The diameter of this circle is ; its height is twice this, or . Therefore, the formula becomes
Set this volume equal to one and solve for :
This is the radius in yards; multiply by 36 to get the radius in inches.
