Volume of a Cylinder How much will I hold?

A cylinder has two identical flat ends that are circular and one curved side. Volume is the amount of space inside a shape, measured in cubic units Definitions

Radius is the measure from the center to a point on the circle. Height is how tall the cylinder is. Pi or π = 3.14 Definitions radius height

Finding the Volume 1.r = 5 cm h = 11 cm 2.Formula… V = (πr²) · h V = 3.14 · 5 · 5 · 11 V = cm³ radius height

Finding the Volume What if you only have the diameter? 1. d = 10 cm (divide by 2) so r = 5 h = 11 cm 2.Formula… V = (πr²) · h V = 3.14 · 5 · 5 · 11 V = cm³ radius height

Now you try one! A can of tomato soup is a cylinder with a radius of 7 and a height of 20 cm. What’s the volume of the can? V = (πr²) · h V = 3.14 · 7 · 7 · 20 V = 3,077.2 cm³ YUM!!!
