  1. Paper Folding Any rectangular sheet of paper can be rolled into a right cylinder in two ways.
    1. Use ordinary sheets of paper to model the two cylinders. Compute the volume of each cylinder. How do they compare?
    2. Of all sheets of paper with perimeter 39 in., which size can be rolled into a right cylinder with greatest volume? (Hint: Try making a table.)
  2. Plumbing The outside diameter of a pipe is 5 cm. The inside diameter is 4 cm. The pipe is 4 m long. What is the volume of the material used for this length of pipe? Round your answer to the nearest cubic centimeter.
  3. The radius of Cylinder B is twice the radius of Cylinder A. The height of Cylinder B is half the height of Cylinder A. Compare their volumes.
