Volume of a Cylinder Practice

6. The volume of a cylinder is 471 cubic centimeters. If the height is 6 cm, what is the
radius? 471 / 6 = 78.5
78.5 / 3.14 = 25
√25 = 5
5 cm

7. The radius of a cylinder is 4 meters and the height is 5 units. What is the volume?

4² * 3.14 = 50.24
50.24 * 5 = 251.2
251.2 m³

8. The volume of a cylinder is 502.4 cubic centimeters. If the radius is 4 cm, what is the
height?

4² * 3.14 = 50.24
502.4 / 50.24 = 10
10 cm

9. A planter was created from a hollow tree stump. Find the amount of soil needed to fill
the hollow tree stump. (height = 4.5 ft, diameter = 2 ft)

1² * 3.14 = 3.14
3.14 * 4.5 = 14.13
14.13 ft³

10. Which cylinder has greater volume?

8² * 3.14 = 200.96 10² * 3.14 = 314

200.96 * 10 = 2009.6 314 * 8 = 2512
2009.6 in 2512 in
