Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around calculating the volume of a hollow cylinder while excluding the volume of the hollow center. Participants explore different methods and seek clarification on the appropriate formula to use.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant asks how to calculate the volume of a hollow cylinder without including the hollow center.
- Another participant suggests that the volume of a cylinder can be calculated using height times the area of the base, but does not specify how this applies to a hollow cylinder.
- Some participants propose considering the hollow cylinder as two separate cylinders, where the volume of the outer cylinder is calculated and the volume of the inner cylinder is subtracted.
- Links to external resources are shared for further information on the topic, but some participants express frustration that these resources do not directly address their specific question.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
There is no consensus on the method to calculate the volume of a hollow cylinder without including the hollow center, and participants express varying levels of understanding and frustration regarding the available resources.
Contextual Notes
Some participants may be missing assumptions about the dimensions and definitions of the hollow cylinder, which could affect their calculations. The discussion does not resolve the mathematical steps necessary for the calculation.

Sorry, I have no clue. Maybe, height times width times length like the others?phinds said:

look up cylinder on wikipedia and you will see the volume formula.
Next consider the hollow cylinder as two cylinders where you compute the volume of the outer cylinder and subtract the volume of the inner cylinder.
The volume of a cylinder is the height x the area of its circular base.
