Understanding Cylinders: Area and Volume

How can a cylinder be conceptually related to a prism?

• A cylinder has a square base, similar to a prism.

• A cylinder has no bases, unlike a prism.

• A cylinder can be thought of as a circular prism with two parallel and congruent circular bases.

• A cylinder is a type of prism with triangular bases.

What is the formula for the lateral area of a cylinder?

• 2πr²

• πrh

• πr²h

• 2πrh

When calculating the lateral area of a cylinder, what shape does the unrolled lateral surface resemble?

• A triangle

• A rectangle

• A circle

• A square

How do you calculate the surface area of a cylinder?

• Add the lateral area to the area of one base

• Multiply the lateral area by the height

• Add the lateral area to twice the area of the base

• Subtract the area of the base from the lateral area

What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

• 2πr²h

• πr²

• 2πrh

• πr²h
