What is Volume?
The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space it occupies in three-dimensional space. It's measured in cubic units such as cubic meters, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, or cubic feet.
Formula
Volume Formula
Cylinder
V = π × r² × h
where r is the radius of the base and h is the height
Steps
How to Calculate Volume
-
1Measure the radius of the cylinder's base
-
2Square the radius (multiply it by itself)
-
3Multiply by π (approximately 3.14159)
-
4Multiply by the height of the cylinder
-
5The result is the volume of the cylinder
Examples
Practical Examples
Example
A cylinder has a radius of 2 units and a height of 5 units.
V = π × r² × h
V = π × 2² × 5
V = π × 4 × 5
V ≈ 62.83 cubic units
