Calculate Volume & Surface Area of a Cylinder Without Lid

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the volume and surface area of a cylinder without a lid. Participants seek clarification on the parameters and methods for performing these calculations, particularly in the absence of visual aids.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the specific shape for which the volume and surface area need to be calculated.
  • Another participant questions whether an image was intended to accompany the post, suggesting a lack of clarity in the discussion.
  • A participant expresses skepticism about needing to imagine a shape to perform the calculations, indicating potential confusion or ambiguity in the problem statement.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to agree on the specifics of the problem, as there are multiple requests for clarification regarding the shape and parameters involved in the calculations.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks clear definitions or assumptions about the dimensions of the cylinder, which may affect the calculations. There is also an absence of visual representation that could aid understanding.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in geometry, particularly those looking to understand the calculations of volume and surface area for three-dimensional shapes.

did you post an image? if you tried, it's not showing up.
 
Are we expected to use our imagination to come up with a shape to find the surface area and volume of?
