Volume and Surface Area Concepts

In this video, Mr. J explains how to find the volume of a cylinder. He introduces the concept of volume as the space a 3D object occupies and provides the necessary dimensions of a cylinder: height and radius. Two formulas for calculating volume are discussed: V = B * h and V = πr²h, where B is the area of the base. Mr. J demonstrates the calculation step-by-step, using a cylinder with a height of 8 inches and a radius of 3 inches. He explains the commutative property of multiplication and rounds the final answer to the hundredths place, resulting in a volume of 226.19 cubic inches. The video concludes with a summary of the process and a farewell message.

What is the volume of a three-dimensional object?

• The height of the object

• The weight of the object

• The amount of space it occupies

• The amount of surface area it covers

What is the radius of the base of the cylinder in the example?

• 3 inches

• 5 inches

• 4 inches

• 6 inches

Which formula represents the area of the base in the volume calculation?

• pi d

• 2 pi r

• pi r squared

• r squared

What does the capital B represent in the formula V = B * h?

• The circumference of the base

• The height of the cylinder

• The volume of the cylinder

• The area of the base

What is the first step in simplifying the volume calculation?

• Add the radius and height

• Multiply pi by the height

• Square the radius

• Multiply the radius by the height

What is the result of 3 squared in the calculation?

• 9

• 15

• 6
