A cylinder has a height of 4 and a circumference of 16π. What is its volume
A cylinder has a height of 4 and a circumference of 16π. What is its volume
circumference = πd
d = 2r
volume of cylinder = πr2h
r = 8, h = 4
volume = 256π
circumference = πd
d = 2r
volume of cylinder = πr2h
r = 8, h = 4
volume = 256π
