(height,radius) = "Volume =", (p ¦ radius2 ¦ height) 2. Run the program to display the volume of a cylinder with a height of 34 mm and a radius of 5 mm. (34,5) Volume = 534.071 Note: You do not have to use the parameter names when you run the program, but you must supply two arguments (as values, variables, or expressions). The first must represent the height, and the second must represent the radius. Requesting the values from the user (programs only) You can use the and commands in a program to make the program pause and display a dialog box prompting the user for information. This method does not require users to remember variable names or the order in which they are needed. You cannot use the or command in a function. 1. Define the program.
