The lateral surface of the cylinder unfolds into a square with side a. Find the volume of the cylinder.

Since the unfolded side surface is a square with side a, its area will be equal to:

Sside = a ^ 2 cm2.

Then the circumference at the base of the cylinder will be a cm.

L = 2 * n * R = a.

R = a / 2 * n cm.

Determine the area of the base of the cylinder.

Sop = n * R ^ 2 = n * a ^ 2/4 * n ^ 2 = a ^ 2/4 * n cm2.

Determine the volume of the cylinder:

V = Sosn * a = (a ^ 2/4 * n) * a = a ^ 3/4 * n cm3.

Answer: The volume of the cylinder is a ^ 3/4 * n cm3.
