Grade 10 Cylinder Volume Calculations

The document provides answers for a Grade 10 mathematics project on measurement, specifically focusing on the properties of cylinders. It includes formulas for the area, curved surface area, and volume of a cylinder, along with verification of how changes in radius and height affect volume. Additionally, it presents two cylinder options based on given sheet metal dimensions, calculating their volumes and explaining the impact of radius and height on volume despite equal curved surface areas.

Titchfield High School Mathematics Project - Grade 10

Measurement - Answers

SECTION I

i) Area of the base of a cylinder:

A = pir²

ii) Curved surface area of a cylinder:

CSA = 2pirh

iii) Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is V = pir²h. Since the radius is squared, changes to the radius

have a greater impact on the volume than changes to the height.

iv) Verification:

a) If height changes from h to 3h:

V = pir²h -> V' = pir²(3h) = 3pir²h (Volume triples)

b) If radius changes from r to 3r:

V = pir²h -> V' = pi(3r)²h = 9pir²h (Volume becomes 9 times)

SECTION II

Given: Sheet metal dimensions = 44 cm by 66 cm

a) Two possible cylinders:


Option 1: Height = 44 cm, Circumference = 66 cm

-> 2pir = 66 => r = 33/pi approximately 10.5 cm

Option 2: Height = 66 cm, Circumference = 44 cm

-> 2pir = 44 => r = 22/pi approximately 7.0 cm

b) Capacity (Volume) of each:

Option 1: V = pir²h = pi(33/pi)² × 44 = 47916/pi approximately 15247.5 cm³

Option 2: V = pir²h = pi(22/pi)² × 66 = 31944/pi approximately 10166.5 cm³

c) Explanation:

Even though the curved surface areas are the same, changing the radius and height

affects volume. Larger radius leads to larger base area, increasing the volume more

significantly than increasing height.
