| Teacher: | Now, have you thought about a cylinder lately? |
| Teacher: | What parts are made of it? |
| Teacher: | If I make a cylinder out of a sheet of paper, how big is it? |
| Teacher: | How big is a sheet of paper? |
| Student: | 8 1/2 by 11 |
| Teacher: | All right, so if I roll it up can you figure out what parts are which, |
| Teacher: | like, what's the height of the cylinder? |
| Student: | 8 1/2... |
| Teacher: | 'k. Do you know the formula for volume? |
| Teacher: | I will give it to you, but do you know what it is? |
| Student: | Base times height... |
| Teacher: | Yeah, area of the base times the height let's see, so the volume is height squared h... |
| Teacher: | So, where is r in this thing? |
| Teacher: | I think that's something you're going to need to think about. |
| Teacher: | What's this part of the cylinder? |
| Student: | Circumference. |
| Teacher: | And the circumference is what? |
| Student: | hmm... right |
| Teacher: | So let's think about this. |
