GCSE Maths Practice: volume

Question 4 of 10

This question asks for the volume of a cylinder in terms of π.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Find the volume of a cylinder with radius 4 cm and height 8 cm, in terms of π.}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Square the radius, multiply by height, then include π.

Volume of cylinder = πr^2h. r = 4 cm, h = 8 cm. V = π × 16 × 8 = 128π cm^3. Cylinders appear in real life as cans, tubes, or tanks. Understanding formula usage with exact π is useful for precise answers. Always multiply radius squared by height and include π. Visualising the cylinder as stacked circles can help students understand volume growth.
