               Math Labs with Activity – Volume of a Right-Circular

               Cylinder


                                                      OBJECTIVE


               To demonstrate a method to derive a formula for finding the volume of a right-circular
               cylinder


               Materials Required


                  1.  A right-circular cylinder made of plastic clay (Plasticine)
                  2.  A knife
                  3.  A ruler


               Theory
               The volume of a right-circular cylinder of height h and base radius r is given by πr²h.



               Procedure
               Step 1: Take a right-circular cylinder made of plastic clay having height h and base
               radius r.
               Step 2: Cut the cylinder with a sharp knife into eight parts as shown in Figure 37.1.
