Wrap the string around the cylinder, mark where the end of the string touched itself, remove the string, and measure from the end of the string to the mark.

What is the circumference of a cylinder 16 in diameter and 15cm height?

Ah, what a lovely question! To find the circumference of a cylinder, you'll want to use the formula 2πr, where r is the radius of the cylinder. Since the diameter is 16 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 8 inches. So, the circumference would be 2 x π x 8, which is approximately 50.24 inches. Keep painting with those happy little numbers!


How do you derive of surface area of cylinder?

The surface area of a cylinder can be derived from the area of rectangle. If you 'unroll' a cylinder you have a shape of a rectangle, similar to a sheet of paper. The width of the rectangle will be the height of the cylinder and the length of the rectangle will be the circumference of the cylinder end.So, Area = length * widthwhere, width = height of cylinder & length = circumference of cylinder end = PI*(Diameter of cylinder)Therefore,surface area of a cylinder = (PI)*(diameter of cylinder)*(height of cylinder)Hope that helps!


How do you find the radius of a cylinder using the circumference and the height?

divide the circumference by pi (3.1416) and divide the product by two that will give you the radius


How can you find the circumference of the quarter without using the math formula?

The circumference of any circle is the distance around the outside. You can take a piece of string and measure the outside of the quarter. See how much string fits around the outside. Then put that length of string up against the edge of a ruler and see how long it is.

What is the circumference of a cup?

A cup is usually a roughly cylindrical hollow container. The circumference of a cup would be the length of a piece of string wrapped around the cylinder.


A cylinder 90 cm high has a circumference of 20 cm A string makes exactly 6 complete turns round the cylinder while its two ends touch the cylinder's top and bottom how long is the string in cm?

For the string to wrap around the cylinder and yet do so by "coiling" around the outside of the cylinder from bottom to top, it will need to be 150cm long.


What is the circumference of circles?

The circumference is the length of the outside of the circle. For example, if you took a piece of string and made a circle with it, then laid the string straight, the length of the string would be the circumference. The circumference of a circle can be measured by doing two times the radius of the circle times the mathematical constant, pi.

How do you find the height of a cylinder if you have the circumference and the surface area?

you divide the surface area by the circumference.


How do you find the surface area of a cylinder when given the height and circumstance?

Entire surface area of a cylinder = (2*pi*radius^2)+(circumference*height) If you are given the circumference then radius = circumference/2*pi
