We have a rectangular sheet with length = 12 and width =
8.
The rectangle is rolled long-side to shape a
cylinder.
Then the height of the cylinder will be the
length of the rectangle= 12.
==> The height (h) =
12.
Then, the width of the rectangle will form the
circumference of the base.
==> The circumference C =
8.
Now we will calculate the
volume.
We know that the volume v = r^2 * pi * h where r is
the radius of the base.
But we have C =
8
==> C = 2* pi * r =
8
==> r= 8/ 2*pi = 4/pi = 1.27 (
approx.)
Now we will substitute into the
volume.
==> V = r^2 * pi *
h
==> V = ( 4/pi)^2 * pi *
12
= 16/ pi * 12 =
61.12.
Then, the volume of the cylinder is
61.12 cubic units.
