Which is the correct first step in finding the area of the base of a cylinder with a volume of 140 pi cubic meters and a height of 12 meters?
V = B h. 12 = B (140 pi)
V = B h. V = 140 pi + (12)
V = B h. V = 140 pi (12)
V = B h. 140 pi = B (12)

Respuesta :

Answer:

140π=b*12

Don't bother about the stuff below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is 2πr²h. In this case, we'd put it as:

(Making π=3.14)

2πr²*12=140π

6.28*r²*12=439.6

75.36*r²=439.6

Divide both sides by 75.36

r²≈5.83

The first steps in finding the area of the base of a cylinder with a 2π r of 140π cubic meters and a height of 12 meters are V=B h ⇒ 140π = B (12).

How to find the volume of a cylinder?

The cylinder has circular bases. So, its volume is given as the product of the area of the circular base and the height of the cylinder. I.e.,

V=B h

Where B= π r² sq. units (area of the circle with radius r)

So, we can write it as V=πr²h cubic units.

Calculation:

Given that,

Volume V=140π

Height h=12 meters

Since the volume of a cylinder is V=B h, the calculation starts with V=B h

Then substituting the values into the equation,

V=B h

140π = B (12)

On simplifying,

B=[tex]\frac{140}{12}[/tex] π

 =11.66π sq. meters

Therefore, Option D is correct. The first steps we write in finding the area of the base of the cylinder are V=B h ⇒ 140π = B (12).
