cylinder = pi x r(squared) x h
There are an infinite number of cylinders that hold one gallon. The volume of a cylinder is a function of its height as well as its diameter. If you double the height, you double its capacity. If you double the radius, you quadruple the capacity. So, you could have a very tall, thin cylinder or a short, wide one.
Carly Cylinder is 5' 2".
The accuracy of a graduated cylinder is not affected by its height. What matters is the precision of the markings on the cylinder and the skill of the person using it to make measurements accurately.
Volume = pi*d*h = 1.5708 metres3 or 1570.8 litres
The volume of a cylinder 8 in tall and 6 in wide is: 226cubic inches.
The length of a cylinder is how tall it is. See the picture in the related link for more information.
Should actually hold the same amount. A study with kids that is pretty common was done. The study had a short, wide glass and a tall, skinny glass. All the kids choose that the tall glass would hold more because it was "bigger" BUT they actually held the same amount...
The volume of a cylinder 10 inches tall and radius of 6 inches is 1,130.97 cubic inches.
A cylinder 7 ft in diameter and 100 ft tall has a volume of pi * 3.5 * 3.5 * 100 = 3848.45 cu ft. A US gallon is equal to 231 cu ft so the cylinder would contain 16.66 US gallons. The US gallon is 0.833 of an Imperial gallon so the cylinder would hold 16.66 * 0.833 = 13.88 Imperial gallons (approx).
You cannot calculate the amount of volume (gallon) that an object can hold without a third dimension. Currently you only have two.
The surface area does not provide enough information to determine the dimensions of the cylinder. It could be a tall thin cylinder or a squat one. It is possible for two such to have the same surface area but vastly different volumes.
