Answer:
Volume of bottom of cylinder = Volume of entire cylinder - Volume of top of cylinder
Explanation:
Here we have the volume of a cylinder given by
Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
Where the cylinder is cut by a plane into portions of heights, bottom a and top b we have
Height of bottom of is then
Height = h - b
Therefore, volume of bottom of cylinder = π·r²h = π·r²(h - b)
Volume of bottom of cylinder = π·r²·h - π·r²b
Volume of bottom of cylinder = Volume of entire cylinder - Volume of top of cylinder.
