Cylinders
In the above figure, the radius of the circular base is r and the height is h.
The volume of the cylinder is the area of the base × height. Since the base is a circle and
the area of a circle is πr2 then the volume of the cylinder is πr2 × h.
Example:
Solution:
= 30 cm2 × 6 am
= 180 cm3

small cubes of edge 2 cm are made from it. How many such cubes can be made from the
block?
3. The dimensions of a rectangular piece of paper are 22 cm × 14 cm. It is rolled once across the
breadth and once across the length to form right circular cylinders of the biggest possible
surface areas. Find the difference in volumes of the two cylinders that will be formed.
4. The cylindrical container has a base area of 300 cm3 and a height of 10 cm. It is 90% filled with
water. We gradually insert metal balls into the water, each with a volume of 20 cm3. After
inserting how many balls for the first time does water flow over the edge of the container?

centimeters rise in water level in the pot after adding 1.2 liters of water?
9. If one liter of paint covers an area of 5 m2, how much paint is needed to cover the Inside walls
and floor of a cylindrical reservoir with a diameter of 3m and height of 2.5 m. If one liter of
paint costs 72, how much will the painter spend to pant the swimming pool and reservoir.
10. What is the diameter of a cylindrical container if half a liter of water reaches a height of 12 cm?
11. A cylindrical container is to be made of tin. The height of the container is 1 m and the diameter
of the base is 1 m. If the container is open at the top and tin sheet costs Php.308.00 per m2,
what will be the cost of tin for making the container?
12. The road roller is 2 m long and 1 m in diameter. How many square meters of road roll when it
turns 15 times?

the base area of the cylinder and express the result in cm².
15. The rectangle with dimensions 8 cm and 4 cm is rotated 360º first around the longer side to
form the first body. Then, we similarly rotate the rectangle around the shorter side b to form a
second body. Find the ratio of surfaces of the first and second bodies.
