Find volume of the cylinder and the amount of sheet metal that would be needed to make this tank with the given dimensions: figure in comments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what "Amount of Sheet Metal" refers to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is V = pi r^2 h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its pie m^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 637 pie

OpenStudy (markrijckenberg):

To find the amount of required sheet metal, use the formula for cylinder surface area here: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cylinder+surface+area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 362.9 for the surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HELP?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Volume of this cylinder is 500.045

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its multiple choice both questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the closet answer i have is 490 pie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh in terms of pie. do you have 159.25 pi?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the second question is in pie too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what is up with the sheet metal are we looking for Surface Area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

were trying to find the amount of sheet metal it would take to make the cylinder with the numbers given in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

115.5pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it! I have a few more questions if you dont mind?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure. I just took a test on Volume and SA last friday in my Geometry class.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the surface area of wood used to make the jewlery box?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And calculate the volume of it too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The base is 20 inches squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks. the Area of the base is 20 in squared. I was going to divide that into a trapezoid to get the area of the base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

112.8 in squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Volume is 300 cubic inches.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont have 112.8 for the SA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 146, 300, 292, and 272 pie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

292!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, just remember the formulas. For prisms Volume is B(area of base)h V=Bh
