Introduction to the Volume of a Cylinder
Assignment correctly answered to pass
graded A+
Tommy has created a new tomato soup recipe. Before he cans and sells his soup, he must
gather information about how much soup cans of different sizes will hold.
To start, which measurement does Tommy need to know about the soup cans?
weight
circumference
volume
surface area - correct answer ✔✔C. Volume
Identify A, B, C, and D on the soup can. - correct answer ✔✔A: height
B: base
C: diameter
D: radius
When finding the volume of a soup can, Tommy needs to calculate the area of the base.
Describe what type of base Tommy's soup can has and what formula he should use to find its
area. - correct answer ✔✔Sample response: The soup can has a circular base. The radius
measure is needed. If the diameter is given, find the radius, which is half the diameter. Square
the radius and multiply that answer by pi for the base area.
Which statements are true about finding the volume of the soup cans? Check all that apply.
The diameter is squared to find the area of the base of a cylinder.
