Volume of a Right Circular Cylinder
Formula

r: The radius of a circular base of the cylinder

h: The height of the cylinder


V: The volume of the interior of the cylinder

Volume of a right circular prism

Explanation

In general, the volume of a right cylinder is the area of the base times the height of the cylinder.

Volume of a prism formula

The area of the circlular base is given by the formula A = πr2.


Substitute to get V = πr2h.


V = πr2h
