Sophia: Determining Unknown Values Using the Volume of a Cylinder

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. They measure the height, radius and diameter of cylinders. Following given formulas, students calculate the area and volume of the cylinder. They compare cylinders and predict...

What is the relationship between a hemisphere, a cone, and a cylinder? Using Cavalieri's Principle, the class determines that the sum of the volume of a hemisphere and a cone with the same radius and height equals the volume of a...

How can you find how much wood one log can produce? Learners first learn how a log can be modeled as a cylinder. They then find out how to calculate the volume of a cylinder.

This video lesson demonstrates how to work backward and use the volume of a cylinder to find an unknown value such as the radius or height. Students can check their understanding with an assessment. [4:41]

This video lesson demonstrates how to work backwards and use the volume of a pyramid to find an unknown measure such as the height or base. [6:55]

Circle up the base. Using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, the presenter calculates the volume of a given cylinder. The video shows that the volume formula for a cylinder and the volume formula for a prism arrive at the same...

This video tutorial explores how to find unknown values of a cone when the volume is known. Assess learning with a quiz. [9:13]

This lesson demonstrates how to find a formula for the volume of a cylinder. It is 4 of 5 in the series titled "Finding a Formula for the Volume of a Cylinder."

What is the formula to find the volume of a cylinder? Here's the formula - volume equals base times height, and the base of a cylinder is base equals pi times radius squared. If the is a given value for radius, and a given value for...

Finding the volume of a cylinder entails using two formulas: the formula for the area of a circle and the formula for volume. The area of the given circle must be solved because that value is used in the formula for volume. Watch this...
