Cylinder

The math project requires students to visualize a gold cylinder and understand its properties. The task begins by asking students to imagine they are standing next to a large, perfectly cylindrical canister made of gold. The first step is to calculate the volume of the cylinder, which involves using the formula V = πr²h, where V represents the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. Students must now use this information to determine how much space the gold would occupy if it were in a solid form. To find the surface area of the cylinder, students will need to calculate the area of two circles at each end and then multiply that by π, as well as adding on the circumference of the circle times the height.
