How do you figure out a volume for a shape?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b * l * h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what if it looks like this! Hold on!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are many ways, you could integrate over an interval, or you could put the shape into a tub of water and measure the change in volume that way, or if it is a simple shape, there is probably an equation for its volume

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what kind of shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the volume of a cylinder is v=pi r^2 h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be fourty then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[v=\pi r^2h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 40? Im afraid i dont understand!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 40?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should plug in 2 for r since r = radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would it be? 80?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pi(2^2)(20)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 80?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget your pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and your units which appears to be cm cubed
