Can someone help me! I'll give a medal! I have to find the volume of my Measurement. I dont know how can you help me out. Example dimensions: length: 10 in. width: 3 in. height: 12 in The volume of 360 in 3
I am confused on what you have to do. Do you have to find the volume of that can?
yes. heres my measurement
Length : 9 width : 3 height : 4 1/2
Ok, do you know the formula for volume of a cylinder? :)
Ill look it up
@Buttercup214 Can you explain your measurements in the diagram below? |dw:1424700081638:dw| Where did you measure the length?
i got my length from around the can
No need to look it up :) Volume of a cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)
For a cylinder, there actually isn't any "length"
Ooh so dont put length on my paper work just put width : 3 height : 4 1/2.?
but for the example it has length.
Did the question ask for a rectangular prism object?
@Buttercup214 By the way, when measuring the "width" of a cylinder, it should be named as diameter since the cross section is a circle. |dw:1424700559979:dw|
For a rectangular prism, there would be length, width and height, but for a cylinder, just height and width. |dw:1424700534867:dw|
