Question

Which is the correct first step in finding the area of the base of a cylinder with a volume of 26x cubic meters and a height of 6.5 meters?
v=bh 6.5=b(26x)
v=bh v=26pi+(6.5)
v=bh v=26pi(6.5)
v=bh 26pi=b(6.5)

Answer 1

Answer:

this may not be the answer but i am trying to help

V=(pi)(r^2)(h)

26x=(pi)(r^2)(6.5)

or

V=(area of b)(h)

26x=b(6.5)

Explanation:

I am confused by 26x did you mean pi?

Answer 2

Answer:

$v=bh \Rightarrow 26\pi=b(6.5)$

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of the cylinder, $V=26\pi\ m^3$

height of cylinder, $h=6.5\ m$

Let the area of the base of the cylinder be: $b\ m^2$

As we know that volume is the one dimensionally extruded form of area:

$V=b.h$

$26\pi=b\times6.5$

$b=4\pi\ m^2$
