G.GGMD.3 Volume of a cylinder
Question 1: Use the Applet above to find the volume.
What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 1 and a height of 2?
Question 2: Use the Applet above to find the volume.
What is the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 2 and a height of 1?
Question 3: How does the answer in question 1 compare with the answer in question 2.
Even though both cylinders use lengths of 1 and 2, they do not have the same volume. Which one has a larger volume and why?
Question 4:
Design a cylinder that has a volume approximately 30 [math]cm^3[/math]. State the dimensions (radius and height).
Question 5:
What happens to the volume of a cylinder if you multiple each dimension by 3 (a scale factor of 3)? Use the applet above. Start off with 1 as the radius and 1 as the height. The volume given is [math]\pi[/math] which is approximately 3.14. Apply a scale factor of 3 to both the radius and height. What specifically happens to the volume?
