Question

find the volume of the circular cyclinder. my numbers include 3m (on top) 8m (On side) i will give a medal

Answer 1

find the volume of my diiiiiiiiick'

Answer 2

LNIH: Is a comment like that the best of which you are capable? It definitely does not belong here and is not appreciated by those who care anything about learning Math.

Answer 3

LNIH your gross

Answer 4

I have notified 2 moderators they should be looking at that right now

Answer 5

PunkChick: Suggest using proper vocabulary: By "number 3m on top" I'm assuming that you mean "the radius of the cylinder is 3 meters." Similarly, that "8 m on the side" signifies "the height of the cylinder is 8 meters."

What is the area of a circle?

What is the formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder?

Answer 6

not sure because that is all i have to work with

Answer 7

Is this what you mean by 3 m on top and 8 m on side?
A radius of 3 m and a height of 8 m?

Answer 8

Or is the 3 m on top the diameter?

Answer 9

@Punkchick Do you have a figure? Even if you can't copy it, can you see if the 3 m on to means radius or diameter?

Answer 10

In any case, the formula for the volume of a cylinder is

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

where
V = volume
r = radius of base
h = height of cylinder

Answer 11

i believe the 3m is the radius

Answer 12

PC: If you don't have a textbook available, perhaps you could get used to looking things up on the Internet. I can't imagine learning Math without a book or other reference.

You could do a search for "volume of a right circular cylinder." Bet you'd be surprised at how much info that would turn up. Again, to do well in this algebra course, you'll need to learn the vocabulary and to use it properly.

mathstudent55 is to be commended for asking whether you meant "radius" or "diameter".

Answer 13

If the 3 m dimension is the radius, then you can substitute it directly in the formula along with the 8-m height.

Answer 14

The 3 on top and 8 on the right side

Answer 15

can someone help me plzzz

Answer 16

PC: It's very disappointing to see that you're apparently ignoring my advice regarding use of proper mathematical vocabulary. Both mathstudent55 and I have emphasized that.

I don't care to repeat this advice, or to give you further guidance, if you don't even consider what you are given.

If you want accurate results, you must specify whether the 3 meters represents the radius or the diameter.

Answer 17

3m is the radius sry

Answer 18

i think the answer is 24

Answer 19

That's a lot better. Now what is the formula for the area of a circle of radius 3 meters?

Answer 20

3.14

Answer 21

Here you have 3 m on top, and 8 m on the side, and it's very different. This is why the proper terms are important. @mathmale is giving you good advice. If you don't have a picture to show us, you need to describe the problem precisely.

Answer 22

Better look that up. "pi," 3.14, is part of the formula, but is not by itself enough.

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

Answer 23

the drawing is almost right, except the 3m ison top and the 8m is on the side

Answer 24

Please see: http://www.mathsisfun.com/area.html

PunkChick: "3m on top" AGAIN? "8m on the side" AGAIN. ???

Answer 25

the area of the circle would be 3.14x3x3=28.26 so the answer would be 28 right??

Answer 26

Yes, and the height of the cylinder is what?
And therefore, the volume of the cylinder is what?
If you don't know the formula, please look at what mathstudent55 has typed, or do an internet search for "volume of a right circular cylinder."

Answer 27

the answer i got was 48

Answer 28

You didn't answer my question: "the height of the cylinder is what?" I want to know how you got your results a lot more than I want to know your "answer."

Answer 29

the height was 8 and radius was 3 so i took 8 times 6 and received my answer

Answer 30

Sorry, but I have another commitment right now; nevertheless I'll see your response later.
