Question

what measures of the cylinder do 26 and 34 describe?

radius and diameter
radius and height
diameter and height
diameter and area of base

Explanation:

Identify the measure represented by 26 cm

$$ \text{The dashed line of } 26\text{ cm passes completely across the circular base through the center, which is the diameter.} $$

Identify the measure represented by 34 cm

$$ \text{The vertical dimension of } 34\text{ cm represents the distance between the two circular bases, which is the height.} $$

Match with the correct option

$$ \text{Therefore, } 26\text{ and } 34\text{ describe the diameter and height, respectively.} $$

Answer:

• radius and diameter
• radius and height
• diameter and height (Correct answer)
• diameter and area of base
