Here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1: The best informal argument for the formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
- A cylinder is a stack of h circles, each with an area of πr² and a thickness of one unit, so its volume formula is V = πr²h.
Question 2: If Shelly knows the area of the base of a cylinder, the other information she needs to find its volume is:
- the height of the cylinder.
Question 3: The formula for the volume of a cylinder relies on the formula for:
- the area of a circle.
Question 4: To calculate the volume of a cylinder with a height of 25 millimeters and a diameter of 40 millimeters:
- Radius = diameter / 2 = 40 mm / 2 = 20 mm.
- Volume V = πr²h = π(20 mm)²(25 mm) = π(400 mm²)(25 mm) = 10,000π mm³. So the answer is:
- 10,000π mm³.
Question 5: To calculate the volume of a cylinder with a height of 20 centimeters and a radius of 5 centimeters:
- Volume V = πr²h = π(5 cm)²(20 cm) = π(25 cm²)(20 cm) = 500π cm³. So the answer is:
- 500π cm³.
