4. Derive formulas for surface area and
volume and justify them using geometric
models and
common materials.
For
example, find the following:
the surface area of a cylinder as a function
of its height and radius
that the volume of a pyramid (or cone)
is one-third of the volume of a prism (or
cylinder)
with
the same base
area and height
