Finding Volume of Cylinders

What is the primary difference between a cylinder and a prism?

• A cylinder and a prism are essentially the same.

• A cylinder cannot have parallel bases, while a prism can.

• A cylinder has a circular base, while a prism has a polygonal base.

• A cylinder is two-dimensional, while a prism is three-dimensional.

What is the formula for the volume of a cylinder?

• Volume = base area + height

• Volume = pi * diameter^2 * height

• Volume = pi * radius^2 * height

• Volume = 2 * pi * radius * height

How do you find the radius of a cylinder if you're given the diameter?

• Radius = pi * diameter

• Radius = diameter * 2

• Radius = diameter / 2

• Radius = diameter^2

What does the term 'in terms of pi' mean when calculating cylinder volume?

• Dividing the volume by pi

• Converting pi to its decimal value

• Leaving pi as a symbol in the answer

• Multiplying the volume by pi

If a cylinder has a radius of 4 meters and a height of 8 meters, what is its volume in terms of pi?

• 256 pi cubic meters

• 128 pi cubic meters

• 64 pi cubic meters

• 32 pi cubic meters

How do you find the volume of a cylinder if you're given the diameter instead of the radius?

• Multiply the diameter by pi before using the formula

• Use the diameter directly in the formula

• Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius first

• Square the diameter before using the formula

When comparing two cylinders, what determines which has a greater volume?

• The one with the larger radius only

• The one with the larger height only

• The one with the larger base area

• Both the radius and height must be considered

If you know the volume of a cylinder, how can you find the radius?

• Square the volume and divide by pi

• Divide the volume by the height and square the result

• Divide the volume by pi and the height, then square root the result

• Multiply the volume by the height

What is the volume of a cylindrical cake with three layers of different diameters?

• The average volume of the three layers

• The volume of the largest layer multiplied by three

• The volume of the smallest layer multiplied by three

• The sum of the volumes of each layer

Why do we use cubic units to express volume?

• Because volume measures space in three dimensions

• Because volume measures surface area

• Because volume is a two-dimensional measurement

• Because volume is calculated using a cube formula
