Volume of Cylinders and Prisms

This video tutorial covers how to find the volume of a cylinder using the formula V = πr²h. It compares the volume calculation of cylinders to prisms, explaining that both involve multiplying the base area by the height. The tutorial provides examples of calculating cylinder volume, demonstrating the effects of doubling the height and radius on the volume. It emphasizes the importance of rounding only at the end of calculations and offers tips for efficient computation. The video concludes with a preview of the next lesson on real-life applications of cylinder volume.

What is the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder?

• V = 4/3πr³

• V = πr²/3

• V = 2πr²h

• V = πr²h

How is finding the volume of a cylinder similar to finding the volume of a prism?

If the radius of a cylinder is 3 inches and the height is 10 inches, what is the volume using π = 3.14?

• 282.6 cubic inches

• 250 cubic inches

• 314 cubic inches

• 300 cubic inches

What happens to the volume of a cylinder if the height is doubled?

• The volume quadruples.

• The volume remains the same.

• The volume triples.

• The volume doubles.

Doubling the radius of a cylinder results in what change to the volume?

• The volume remains the same.
