What is the formula for finding the area of a circle and for finding the volume of a cylinder?

Area of a circle = (pi)r2 [Areacircle = pi time the radius squared.] Volume of a cylinder = (pi)r2h [Volumecylinder = pi times the radius squared times the height.] (This applies to a right circular cylinder. :)


Why is the volume pi r h for a cylinder?

pi r^2 h is used to determine the volume of a cylinder because when determing the area of a shape you first have to determine the area of the the base of the object and then multiply it by the height. The base of a cylinder is a circle and to find the area of a circle you use pi r^2 and hence the reason why pi r^2 is used to find the volume of the cylinder.


How is the volume of a cylinder related to the volume of a triangular prism?

In both cases, Volume = Length times Cross-sectional area.


Why is pi important in layman term?

The circumference of a circle divided by its diameter is the value of pi and pi has a wide range of uses some of which are:- Finding the volume of a sphere Finding the surface area of a sphere Finding the volume of a cone Finding the volume of a cylinder Finding the area of a circle Finding the circumference of a circle


Volume of the largest possible right circular cylinder that can be inscribed in a sphere of radius a?

volume of a regular right circular cylinder is V=pi(r2)h since the radius is (a) then the height of the circular cylinder would be (2a) so the volume of the largest possible right circular cylinder is... V=2(pi)(r2)(a) with (pi) being 3.14159 with (r) being the radius of the circle on the top and bottom of the cylinder with (a) being the radius of the sphere

How do you calculate diameter of hollow cylinder with the help of volume?

Divide the volume by the hieght. The result is the area of the circle forming the cylinder. Divide the area of the circle by PI. Multiply by 4 and then take the square-root. This will be the diameter of cylinder.


What are 3 formulas that use pi?

Three common formulas that use pi (π) are: The circumference of a circle, given by the formula ( C = 2\pi r ), where ( r ) is the radius. The area of a circle, calculated using ( A = \pi r^2 ). The volume of a cylinder, which is found using ( V = \pi r^2 h ), where ( h ) is the height of the cylinder.
