List of general steps:

I have to read the question carefully
Draw a cylinder and label it with R:12, H:12
Write the equation V=r^2(h)
Calculate the volume by multiplying the radius squared times the height and leaving it in pi form

When approaching the given data to find the volume of different cylinders, it is essential to follow a set of general steps to reach a solution. The initial steps involve reading the question carefully to understand the requirements. Next, drawing a cylinder and labeling it with the given dimensions such as the radius and height is crucial. Furthermore, it is important to write the appropriate equation, in this case V=r^2(h), and perform the necessary calculation by multiplying the radius squared times the height and ensuring the volume is in pi form. These systematic steps help in accurately calculating the volume of the cylinders provided in the data.

Tutorial Question (Point of Confusion):

How do we find the volume of this cylinder in pi form?

Tutorial Question Answer:

The volume of a cylinder in pi form can be found by multiplying the radius squared by the height and leaving the answer in pi form.

When addressing the Point of Confusion related to finding the volume of a cylinder in pi form, it is important to understand that the calculation involves multiplying the radius squared by the height and retaining the result in pi form. This approach ensures the accurate determination of the volume of the cylinder as per the mathematical principles governing such calculations.
