What is a Cylinder?

What is a Cylinder?

Cylinder
The cylinder is formed by rotating any rectangle with a side on the axis of rotation

Volume Formula:
V=?r^2h

Surface Area Formula:
SA=2?r^2+2?rh

Relationship between the volume and surface area when a particular plane figure is rotated around two different axes of rotation such as the x-axis and y-axis:

When you rotate rectangle OBCD around the y-axis, you get a cylinder. The radius is 4 and the height is 3.

When you rotate rectangle OBCD around the x-axis you get a cylinder. The radius is 3 and the height is 4.

Cylinder around the y-axis: V = ?4^2(3) = 48? (cubic units)
SA=2?(4)^2+2?(4)(3) = 56? (square units)

Cylinder around the x-axis: V = ?3^2(4) = 36? (cubic units)
SA=2?(3)^2+2?(3)(4) = 42? (square units)

Ratio: Volume y:x = 4:3
Surface Area y:x = 4:3

... or NOT! lol

btw, it's 2πr2h ... I don't know where you're getting that the cylinder's volume could be 2πr AND 2h !:-) Write with Love ... That's me

Trackin' On... Diggin' Them Brainnsss

The hotties diggs us because they's titillated by our intelligences... they wants to humps our brains see our brains arouses them and brains be always useful

Keep On Trackin`, Sexy Nerd!

Just remember; the hotties only digg us as long as we're always useful! Write with Love ... That's me

Bravo!

Goodness gracious! Welll... how do You feel about that? I feel so blessed with your information! Danke! Math gets me soooo excited! Oooh and I just can't hide it! ;-))
