A cylinder is a closed solid geometric figure which has generally equal circular bases on its top and bottom and has curved surface on the sides. Volume of a cylinder is calculated by taking the radius of the circular base and the height of the figure. Cylinder volume calculator is a fun tool useful in finding the volume of any cylinder given its radius and height.
Example 1: Find the volume of the cylinder where radius of the base is 5cm and the height is 8cm.
Volume of the cylinder, V = π * r2 * h
Given radius of the cylinder, r = 5cm
Height of the cylinder, h = 8cm
Substituting the radius and the height in the above volume formula, we get
Volume, V = π * (5cm) 2 * (8cm) π * 25cm2 * 8cm
Volume, V = 3.142 * 25cm2 * 8cm
Volume of the cylinder, V = 628.3cm3
Example 2: Find the volume of the cylinder where radius of the base is 4mand the height is 12m.
Volume of the cylinder, V = π * r2 * h
Given radius of the cylinder, r = 4m
Height of the cylinder, h = 12m
Substituting the radius and the height in the above volume formula, we get
Volume, V = π * (4m) 2 * (12m) π * 16m2 * 12m
Volume, V = 3.142 * 16m2 * 12m
Volume of the cylinder, V = 603.2m3
