Measurement of The Surface and Volume of A Cylinder

The document summarizes how to calculate the volume and surface area of a cylinder. It defines key terms like radius, height, bases, and axis. It then presents the formulas for volume (V = πr2h) and surface area (A = 2πr2 + 2πrh). As an example, it calculates the volume (240πcm3) and surface area (128πcm2) of a cylinder with radius 4cm and height 15cm.

MEASUREMENT OF THE SURFACE AND VOLUME OF A CYLINDER


A cylinder is a closed solid that has two parallel (usually circular) bases
connected by a curved surface.

Base and side


A cylinder is a geometric solid that is very common in everyday life, such as
a soup can. If you take it apart you find it has two ends, called bases, that are
usually circular. The bases are always congruent and parallel to each other. If you
were to 'unroll' the cylinder you would find the the side is actually a rectangle
when flattened out. (See Surface area of a cylinder).

Height

The height h is the perpendicular distance between the bases. It is


important to use the perpendicular height (or 'altitude') when calculating
the volume of an oblique cylinder.

Radius
The radius r of a cylinder is the radius of a base. If you are given the
diameter instead, remember to halve it.

Axis
A line joining the center of each base.

So now, how can we solve the Volume and the Surface Area of a Cylinder?
By following these two formulae below, we can now solve the Volume and
Surface Are of a Cylinder itself.
Formulas:
Volume = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
Surface Area = 2𝜋𝑟 2 + 2𝜋𝑟ℎ

Let’s try to solve this one example:


We can say that the radius of the
cylinder is 4cm and the height of it is
15cm. Let us try to figure out what will
be the Volume and the Surface Area of it
by the use of formula given above.
Solution: (Volume)
V = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ
V = 𝜋 (4𝑐𝑚)2 (15𝑐𝑚)
V = 𝜋 (16𝑐𝑚2 )(15𝑐𝑚)
V = 240𝜋𝑐𝑚3

Solution: (Surface Area)


A = 2𝜋𝑟 2 + 2𝜋𝑟ℎ
A = 2𝜋(4𝑐𝑚)2 + 2𝜋(4𝑐𝑚)(15𝑐𝑚)
A = 8𝜋𝑐𝑚2 + 120𝜋𝑐𝑚2
A = 128𝜋𝑐𝑚2

REACTION PAPER
The video tackles about the measurement of the surface and the volume of
a cylinder. It talks about the formula that can be use to solve those problems.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the formula for getting the volume and
surface area of a cylinder itself was so easy to memorize. But see to it that you
should understand the signs that is related to the formula. For example, the letter
r, you would say that r could be rhombus or whatsoever but the real meaning of it
is r means the radius of a certain shape. On this video the formula that was used
to get the volume of a cylinder is different from the formula that is given in the
website that I’ve been found. For me, it is easier to understand the formula given
from different website but it is also important to consider different alternatives
on how we can solve different problems just like in real life situation.
So, the radius and surface area that he had been used was 4cm and 8cm.
Based on the video, volume is equal to 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ and it is written as
V = 𝜋(4𝑐𝑚)2 (8𝑐𝑚) by solving this problem the answer or the volume would be
𝟏𝟐𝟖𝝅𝒄𝒎𝟑 . For solving the surface area, he first used to solve the area of the
circle by using the formula itself, A = 𝜋𝑟 2 so it means A = 𝜋(4𝑐𝑚2 ) and it will be
A = 𝟏𝟔𝝅𝒄𝒎𝟐 . Then after that, he solved the circumference of a circle using this
formula, C = 2𝜋𝑟 or C =2𝜋(4𝑐𝑚) and the answer is C = 𝟖𝝅𝒄𝒎. Before we finally
complete the formula for getting the surface area of a cylinder this video adds
more twist. He used to get the area of the cylinder without the surface of the
cylinder itself. So, A = rC (radius time the circumference of the circle) or A = 8𝑐𝑚 ∗
8𝜋𝑐𝑚 and the answer is A = 𝟔𝟒𝝅𝒄𝒎𝟐 . Finally, we can now solve the surface area
of the cylinder by completing those task and use this formula, Surface Area = 2
times the area of the circle + the area of the cylinder without the surface of it. It
means SA = 2 ∗ 16𝜋𝑐𝑚2 + 64𝜋𝑐𝑚2 . To simplify, SA = 32𝜋𝑐𝑚2 + 64𝜋𝑐𝑚2 so now
we probably get the answer as SA = 𝟗𝟔𝝅𝒄𝒎𝟐 .
I have learned about the whole definition of the cylinder and I hope that
this could also help you to understand not only cylinder but also the other solid
geometry figures. I am very sure that this video can also helps you to figure out
what a cylinder is all about.
