Right Circular Cylinder :- If the number of circular sheets is arranged in a stack, if the stack is kept vertically up then it is called the right circular cyl. If the base is circular and the other sheets are kept at ninety degrees at the base, then it is called the right circular cyl. The right circular cyl can be made by a rectangular sheet by folding it in round shape. The area of the sheet gives us the curved surface area of the cyl because the length of the sheet is equal to the circumference of the circular base which is equal to 2 π r . Therefore the curved surface area of the cyl is equal to the area of the rectangular sheet. The area of the rectangular sheet is equal to the product of the length and the breadth. The curved surface area of the cylinders is also equal to the product of the perimeter of the base and the height of the cylinders. If the top and bottom of the cylinders is also consider because it is needed to make the circular tin, If the area of the bottom and top of the cylinders is included in the curved surface area we get the total surface area. It means total surface area of the right circular cylinder is equal to the area of the base plus the area of the top of the cylinder plus the curved surface area of the cylinder. The cylinder has two circular base at the bottom and at the top.The diameter of the base of the cylinder can be measured directly with the help of the scale.
What is the Formula for Volume of a Cylinder :- As we know that the volume of cuboids is equal to the product of the length, breadth and the height. The volume is three dimensional. The cuboids are built up with the rectangle of the same size sheets. In the same way the right circular cylinders can be made by using the same principle. So, by using the same argument as for cuboids, we can see that the volume of a cylinders can be obtained by the product of the base and height of the cylinders. Therefore, the volume of a cylinder = the base area of the cylinder X height of the cylinder. As we know that the base of the cylinder is the circle. The area of the circle is equal toπ r². The height of the cylinder can be assumed as h. Therefore the volume of the cylinder = π r²h, where r is the base radius and h is the height of the cylinder.
Example :- Let us find the volume of the cylinder which has the radius of the base is twenty one centimeter and its height is thirty five centimeter.
Solution :- The formula for the volume of the cylinder, V = π r²h
Radius r = 21 centimeter, height h = 35 centimeter
Therefore the volume of the cylinder V = π ×21² ×35 = 48490.48 cubic centimeters.
