Question: 210

3. The diameter of the cylinder shown is 3 times its height. The formula used to find the volume of a cylinder is V = r2hπ, where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

If the height of the cylinder is 2 cm, what is its volume, in cm3?

  • A. 12π
  • B. 18π
  • C. 24π
  • D. 72π

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The answer is B

As the formula for the volume of a cylinder and the height are given, you need to find the radius. The diameter is three times the height, 2 × 3 = 6. Therefore, the radius is 3. Plug r = 3 and h = 2 into the given formula: V = π(3)2(2) = 18π.
