Formula Volume of a Cylinder

This page examines the properties of a right circular cylinder .A cylinder has a radius (r) and a height (he) (see picture below).

This shape is similar to a can. The surface area is the area of the top and bottom circles (which are the same), and the area of the rectangle (label that wraps around the can)

What is the volume of the cylinder with a radius of 2 and a height of 6?

Answer

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder as shown below.
Volume= Π *(r)² (h)
Volume = Π *(2)² (6)
= 24 Π

What is the volume of the cylinder with a radius of 3 and a hieight of 5?

Answer

Use the formula for the volume of a cylinder as shown below.
Volume= Π *(r)² (h)
Volume = Π *(3)² (5)
= 45 Π

What is the area of the cylinder with a radius of 6 and ah eight of 7?

Answer

Use the area of a cylinder formula . Volume= Π *(r)² (h)
Volume = Π *(6)² (7)
= 252 Π
