Shelly knows the area of the base of a cylinder. What other information does she need to find its volume?(1 point)

possible answers:
the circumference of the base of the cylinder the circumference of the base of the cylinder the height of the cylinder the height of the cylinder the diameter of the base of the cylinder the diameter of the base of the cylinder the radius of the base of the cylinder

1 answer

To find the volume of a cylinder, Shelly needs to know the height of the cylinder. The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:

\[ V = \text{Area of the base} \times \text{Height} \]

Since she already knows the area of the base, the only additional information required is the height of the cylinder. Therefore, the correct answer is:

the height of the cylinder.
