Volume of Sectors of Cylinders Lesson 19
Find the area of the sectors labels at 1. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest hundredth
Target: Calculate the volume of sectors of cylinders.
1. Find the volume of the cylinder. 2. Write a proportion. Set the ratio of the central angle to 360 ⁰ equal to the ratio of the volume of the sector to the volume of the cylinder. 3. Set the cross products equal to one another. Solve.
A cylinder has a radius of 5 cm and is 3 cm tall. Find the volume of a 90° slice of the cylinder. Use 3.14 for π. Use the cylinder volume formula.V = πr 2 h Substitute all known values.V ≈ (3.14)(5) 2 (3) Evaluate.V ≈ Write a proportion to find the volume of the sector. Set cross products equal. 360x ≈ 21,195 Divide by 360 on both sides x ≈ The sector has a volume of about cm 3.
Taye made a cylindrical quiche to serve at brunch. The quiche was cut into equal-sized slices, each with a central angle of 45 ⁰. The volume of each slice was 12.5 cubic inches. What was the volume of the entire quiche? Substitute known values into a proportion. Set cross products equal. 45x = Divide. x = 100 The volume of the entire quiche was 100 in 3.
Set up and write a proportion then find the volume of the sector. Use 3.14 for .
