V = wdh
V= wdh
V= 4 in x 5.25 in x 2.5 in
V = 52.5 in3
Volume of a Cylinder
To calculate the volume
of a cylinder, its radius
(r) and height (h) must be
known.
The formula for
calculating the volume V= r 2
h
(V) of a cylinder is: V= 3.14 x (1.5 in) 2
x 6 in
V = 42.39 in3
V = r2h
Mass
Mass (M) refers to the quantity of matter in
an object. It is often confused with the
concept of weight in the metric system.
SA = 88.25 in2
SA = (2r)h + 2(r2)
