Question

H = 5 ft

Which is the formula
for the volume
of a cylinder?
A. V = a^2 + b^2 + c^2
B. V = (area of the base)(radius)
C. V = (area of the base)(height)

Answer 1

Answer: C. V = (area of the base)(height)

This applies to any prism. A cylinder is effectively a prism but the base is a circle rather than a polygon.

The cylindrical volume formula you may be more familiar with is

V = pi*r^2*h

note how the pi*r^2 portion is the area of the circular base. So we can replace the pi*r^2 with "area of the base" to end up with choice C.

Answer 2

The answer is c!!! I think???
