Part 1: Find the area of the CIRCLE BASE of the CYLINDER: Area =
yd2
Part 2: What is the height of the cylinder?
yd
Part 3: Find the volume of the cylinder using V=(area of the base) x (height of prism) =
yd3
Part 1: The area of the circle base of the cylinder can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2. Since the radius of the circle is half the diameter, we can substitute y for the diameter in this formula. So, Area = π(y/2)^2 = π(y^2/4) = y^2π/4.
Part 2: The height of the cylinder is given as yd.
Part 3: Now, we can find the volume of the cylinder using the formula V = (area of the base) x (height of prism) = y^2π/4 * yd = y^3πd/4.
