Question

True or false - to find the volume of a cylinder, multiply the area of the base by the height.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is V = pi*r^2 h

pi*r^2 is the area of the (circular) base.

h = the height.

So the statement for a circular base is true.

This is a very specific case. We ought to try another one.

============

What happens if the base is a regular pentagon?

The area of a pentagon is A=  (1/4) * sqrt(5 + 2*sqrt(5)) * a^2

So that is how to find the base area of a cylinder make up of a regular pentagon.

To find the volume, just multiply by the height.

The answer is True.

Answer 2

Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula

V = area of base × height
