What is the significance of the radius in the volume formula of a cylinder?

• It determines the height of the cylinder

• It's squared to find the base area of the cylinder

• It's multiplied by the height directly

• It has no significance in volume calculation

Why is the volume of a pyramid divided by 3 in its formula?

• It's an arbitrary convention

• Because 3 pyramids fit into a prism with the same base and height

• To convert it to square units

• Because it has 3 sides
