a cylinder in the real world. On this sheet, you will find the surface area and
volume, answer questions, and attach a picture of the object. On the picture,
write the measurements (measure in METRICS) you had to find so that you
could calculate the surface area and volume. THIS PROJECT IS DUE
TUESDAY, APRIL 3.
1.) Attach a picture below with tape or glue. If you will not be able to take a
picture, bring your object to school AT LEAST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE DUE
DATE and I will take a picture with my digital camera.
