Why do you square the radius when finding the volume of a cylinder?

Because the volume of the cylinder is proportional to the cross sectional area of the cylinder. The cross sectional area is a circle and the area of a circle is pi*r2.


How are the formulas for the area of a circle and the volume of a cylinder related?

The volume of a cylinder is the cross-sectional area of the cylinder multiplied by its length. The perpendicular cross-section of a cylinder is a circle.


What is the cross sectional area of cylinder?

It is the same as that of an area of a circle which is: pi times radius squared.


What is the volume a cylinder of area is 7cm and diamiter is 20cm?

The [cross sectional] area is not consistent with the diameter.


If a cylinder holds a volume of 100 cm and is 30 cm tall which is the area of the bottom cylinder?

I assume the volume is 100 cubic cm and NOT 100 cm. The volume of a cylinder is cross-sectional area * height 100 = cross sectional area * 30 so that the area of the bottom, or cross section, is 100/30 = 3.333... sq cm


How do you calculate the volume of a vertical cylinder tank?

Volume = Cross sectional Area x Height.


What formula you can use to find the volume of a cylinder?

Find the cross-sectional area of the cylinder (pi x the radius2), the multiply that by the height of the cylinder


What is cc volume of a cylinder 4.145 wide x 0.150 deep?

Volume of a cylinder = cross-sectional area times height


How do you do a cross sectional area of a rectangle?

You cannot create a cross sectional area of a rectangle. You can only create cross sectional areas for triangular shapes.


How does cross sectional area affect resistance?

the larger the cross sectional area, the smaller the resistance


How do you find the volume of a cylinder when the diameter and height are given?

Divide volume by height will give you cross sectional area. The cross section of a cylinder is a circle. Area of a circle= π r2 divide your value of cross sectional area by π square root this value and multiply it by 2 that value is diameter.


Formulea for cross sectional area of cylinder?

Pi multiplied by the squared radius (e.g. π*r^2)
