In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, you have to find the area of it's base. Because a cylinder's base is a circle, you use the formula A=. Substituting in the radius's length would be A=, which is A=16. Now that we know the base area of the cylinder, we multiply it by the height, which is 9 to calculate the volume. Therefore, the volume of the cylinder would be 9×16, which is 144.
