Drag the points to create two different cylinders with the same volume. You can change both the height and radius of each cylinder.

What is the volume of the cylinders? hight is 8 and the base is 4

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

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

where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.

In your case, the height \( h \) is 8 and the base radius \( r \) is 4. We can calculate the volume as follows:

  1. Calculate the base area: \[ \text{Base Area} = \pi r^2 = \pi (4^2) = \pi (16) = 16\pi \]

  2. Calculate the volume: \[ V = \text{Base Area} \times h = 16\pi \times 8 = 128\pi \]

Thus, the volume of the cylinder with height 8 and radius 4 is:

\[ V = 128\pi \text{ cubic units} \]

To create another cylinder with the same volume, choose different values for height and radius such that their product gives the same volume \( 128\pi \).

For example, if we take a radius of 2:

  1. Set the radius \( r = 2 \).
  2. Use the volume formula to determine the corresponding height \( h \): \[ V = \pi r^2 h = 128\pi \] \[ \pi (2^2) h = 128\pi \] \[ 4\pi h = 128\pi \] \[ h = \frac{128}{4} = 32 \]

So, another cylinder with radius 2 and height 32 also has a volume of \( 128\pi \).

This gives us two different cylinders:

  1. Cylinder 1: Radius = 4, Height = 8
  2. Cylinder 2: Radius = 2, Height = 32

Both have a volume of \( 128\pi \). You can experiment with other combinations as well (for example, using a radius of 1 or 3, and solving for height accordingly).
