Calculate Volume & Surface Area of a Cylinder Without Lid

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating the volume and surface area of a cylinder without a lid. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height. The surface area, excluding the lid, is calculated using the formula A = 2πrh + πr². Participants express confusion regarding the absence of visual aids to clarify the problem, emphasizing the need for clear communication in mathematical discussions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic geometry concepts
  • Familiarity with the formulas for volume and surface area
  • Knowledge of the mathematical constant π (pi)
  • Ability to visualize three-dimensional shapes
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of cylinders in geometry
  • Explore advanced applications of volume and surface area calculations
  • Learn about the significance of π in various mathematical contexts
  • Investigate graphical tools for visualizing geometric shapes
USEFUL FOR

Students studying geometry, educators teaching mathematical concepts, and anyone interested in practical applications of volume and surface area calculations.

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?
