Question

A cylinder has a radius of 12 cm and height of 16 cm. What volume for the solid/

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder is given by the multiplication of the base area and the height.

The base is a circle, so its area is given by

$A = \pi r^2 = 144\pi$

If we then multiply this by the height, we have

$V = A\cdot h = 144\pi \cdot 16 = 2304\pi$
