Question

A cylinder has a radius of 6 inches and a height of 2 feet. Which of the following should be done first in order to find the volume of the cylinder?
convert the radius and the height to the same unit
determine the diameter of the circle
calculate the circumference of the circle
multiply the circumference of the circle by the height of the cylinder

Answer 1

The significant components, the radius and the height, are in inches and feet respectively, you'd need to convert them both to the same unit, whichever it may be, meters or feet or inches or millimeters, so long is the same, then use the volume of a cylinder equation to get it.
