Exit Slip- Varying the radius and solving for heights

1) What was the important concept of today's lesson?
The important part of today's lesson was to generalize our radius. This was important because in our PBAT we are going to keep the volume the same while changing the radius. By generalizing my function it will allow me to be able to change the size of my can but not change the volume.

2) What mathematical tool did you use today ? Why was it helpful ? How did using the tool make your job easier?
The mathematical tool I used today was the in and out table, also the Volume formula v=\pi r^2h. This was helpful because this helped me organize my data for the PBAT and it helped me get a better understanding of what I need to do on my PBAT. Using the tools made my job easier because it helped me get a better understanding of my work and get comfortable with my PBAT work.
