Understanding Cylinders: Surface Area and Volume

Objective:

Students will be able to calculate the surface area and volume of a cylinder, given the radius and height.

Assessment:

Students will demonstrate their understanding by completing a worksheet that includes various problems requiring them to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders.

Key Points:

• Definition of a cylinder as a solid with congruent circular bases in parallel planes

• Understanding the components of a cylinder: radius and height

• Surface Area of a Right Cylinder: The surface area ( A ) of a right cylinder is given by the formula: ( A = 2πr^2 + 2πrh ), where ( r ) is the radius and ( h ) is the height.

Let's calculate the surface area of a cylinder using the formula ( A = 2πr^2 + 2πrh ).

Example:
Given a cylinder with a radius of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm, calculate the surface area.

Solution:

1. Substitute the values into the formula:
   ( A = 2π(5)^2 + 2π(5)(10) )

2. Calculate the surface area:
   ( A = 2π(25) + 2π(50) )
   ( A = 50π + 100π )
   ( A = 150π ) square units

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is ( 150π ) square units.

Let's calculate the surface area of another cylinder with different dimensions using the formula ( A = 2πr^2 + 2πrh ).

Example:
Consider a cylinder with a radius of 3.5 cm and a height of 8 cm. Determine the surface area of this cylinder.

Solution:

1. Plug the values into the formula:
   ( A = 2π(3.5)^2 + 2π(3.5)(8) )

2. Perform the calculations:
   ( A = 2π(12.25) + 2π(28) )
   ( A = 24.5π + 56π )
   ( A = 80.5π ) square units

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder with a radius of 3.5 cm and a height of 8 cm is ( 80.5π ) square units.

Certainly! Let's calculate the surface area of a cylinder with a radius in decimal form and a whole number height using the formula ( A = 2πr^2 + 2πrh ).

Example:
Suppose we have a cylinder with a radius of 4.5 units and a height of 6 units. Find the surface area of this cylinder.

Solution:

1. Substitute the given values into the formula:
   ( A = 2π(4.5)^2 + 2π(4.5)(6) )

2. Perform the calculations:
   ( A = 2π(20.25) + 2π(27) )
   ( A = 40.5π + 54π )
   ( A = 94.5π ) square units

Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder with a radius of 4.5 units and a height of 6 units is ( 94.5π ) square units.

Of course! Let's calculate the volume of a cylinder with a radius in decimal form and a whole number height using the formula ( V = πr^2h ).

Example:
Consider a cylinder with a radius of 3.5 units and a height of 8 units. Determine the volume of this cylinder.

Solution:

1. Plug the given values into the volume formula:
   ( V = π(3.5)^2(8) )

2. Calculate the volume:
   ( V = π(12.25)(8) )
   ( V = π(98) )
   ( V = 98π ) cubic units

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder with a radius of 3.5 units and a height of 8 units is ( 98π ) cubic units.

To calculate the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 5 cm and a height of 10 cm, we use the formula ( V = πr^2h ).

Given:
Radius (( r )) = 5 cm
Height (( h )) = 10 cm

Let's calculate the volume first:

1. Substitute the values into the volume formula:
   ( V = π(5)^2(10) )
   ( V = π(25)(10) )
   ( V = 250π ) cubic cm

Now, to calculate the surface area of the same cylinder, we use the formula ( A = 2πr^2 + 2πrh ).

1. Substitute the values into the surface area formula:
   ( A = 2π(5)^2 + 2π(5)(10) )
   ( A = 2π(25) + 2π(50) )
   ( A = 50π + 100π )
   ( A = 150π ) square cm

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is ( 250π ) cubic cm and the surface area is ( 150π ) square cm.
