cylinder volume

Recommended Posts

[math]A=\pi*r^2[/math]

is area of base in m2

 

If you will multiply it by height:

[math]V=\pi*r^2*h[/math]

you will get volume in m3.

 

Notice that you can have other shape as base, f.e. square

[math]A=r^2[/math]

 

Once it's multiplied by height you get:

[math]V=r^2*h[/math]

 

If h=r, it simplifies to:

[math]V=r^3[/math]

and you have volume of a box with all sides equal length.

You say you are a new high school student.

 

Did you miss a term or some lessons?

 

Has your class already started differentiation?

 

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

[math]V = \pi {r^2}L[/math]

Differentiate with respect to r

 

[math]\frac{{dV}}{{dr}} = 2\pi rL[/math]

Rearrange to obtain your formula

 

[math]dV = 2\pi rLdr[/math]

 

Does any of this mean anything to you?
