Why is volume area times thickness?

OpenStudy (dls):

\[Volume=l \times b \times h \] is valid for all bodies?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V=l*w*h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for rectangular shape

OpenStudy (dls):

i have a uniform circular disc!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pic of it?

OpenStudy (phi):

volume of a cylinder

OpenStudy (dls):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry typeo A = pi*r^2

OpenStudy (dls):

so volume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in order for it to have volume the disc needs to have height. in this case its just a circle, you can only get surface area of a 2d object.

OpenStudy (dls):

I have 2 uniform disc having the same mass and the same thickness made from different materials..

OpenStudy (phi):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

back to your original question, the volume of a uniform disc WITH height is \[V=\pi*r^{2}*h \]

thanks! @Fonzy @phi !!
