Cylander 1 has a height of 8 and half a base length (radius? correct me if I'm wrong) of 3, and cylinder 2 has a height of 4 and a a radius(?) of 6

Answer 1

You're correct that the term you're looking for is "radius" rather than "base length" for the circular base of a cylinder.

Given your information:

• Cylinder 1 has:

  • Height (h₁) = 8
  • Radius (r₁) = 3

• Cylinder 2 has:

  • Height (h₂) = 4
  • Radius (r₂) = 6

If you need to calculate the volumes of these cylinders or compare them in some way, let me know! The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where:

• \( r \) is the radius,
• \( h \) is the height,
• \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14159 \).

Would you like me to calculate the volumes for you?
