Introduction to the Volume of a Cylinder — Quiz

Question 7 • Foundations of Math 1

Tina curled an 8 inch by 10 inch rectangular piece of paper along one of its sides to form an open cylinder with a height of 10 inches. Which measure of the cylinder will be 8 inches?

Answer
A
the area of the base
B
the radius of the base
C
the circumference of the base
D
the diameter of the base

Explanation

The 10-inch side becomes the cylinder’s height, so the 8-inch side is curled around to form the circular base. The length wrapped around the base is its circumference, so the circumference is 8 inches. The radius, diameter, and area are not directly equal to the wrapped side length.
