Multiple Choice

The volume formulas of a cylinder and prism are the SAME.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

• V = ½Bh

• V = Bh

• V = Bh²

Multiple Select

Sheila believes that the two cylinders shown in the diagram below have equal volumes. Is Sheila correct or incorrect? Select ALL that apply.

• Sheila is incorrect. The volumes of both cylinders are not equal.

• Sheila is incorrect. One of the cylinders is tilted.

• Sheila is correct. When two cylinders have the same base areas and the same height, their volumes must be the same.

• Sheila is correct. Both cylinders radii and height are equal, so their volumes are the same.

• Sheila is correct. Using Cavalieri’s Principle and the formula $$v=Bh$$ or $$v=\pi r^2h$$ proves the volumes of the cylinders are equal.
