Copy of Volume and Surface Area of a Right Circular Cylinder
Use this worksheet to practice finding the volume and surface area of a right circular cylinder. Adjust the height and radius using the labeled sliders. Answer the questions below. Click the check boxes to find helpful hints and verify your answers.
Investigation
1. Find the volume and surface area for 5 different right circular cylinders by randomly choosing different heights and radii.
Cylinder A:
Cylinder B:
Cylinder C:
Cylinder D:
Cylinder E:
2. What are some observations you can make about the Volume & SA of the various cylinders.
(i.e. What happens to the volume when the height is bigger than the radius & vice versa
How do the numbers compare of the cylinder from SA to V? Is doubling height make more of a difference in SA or does doubling R?)
