Question

What measures of a cylinder can be determined when given the volume and the height? Describe how to find the measure.

Answer 1

Radius of that cylinder.

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=Bh or V=πr2h . The radius of the cylinder is 8 cm and the height is 15 cm. Substitute 8 for r and 15 for h in the formula V=πr2h . Simplify.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sample Response: The area of the base can be calculated by applying the formula for the volume of a cylinder. First, substitute the known measures for their corresponding variables. Then solve for B by applying the division property of equality.
