V = Volume of cylinder
B = area of base
h = height of cylinder
It turns out that
V = B*h
In a similar way to that of a cube
If we know that V = 84pi and h = 7, then we can plug those values into the formula above, and solve for B
V = B*h
84pi = B*7
84pi/7 = B*7/7 ... divide both sides by 7
12pi = B
B = 12pi
Therefore the base is 12pi square units
Answer:
V = PI*r2h
In plain english the volume of a cylinder can be calculated by squaring the radius, multiplying that value by PI, then multiplying by the height. You can also think of it as finding the area of a flat circle (PI * radius squared) and multiplying by the height to find volume.
Here is a step-by-step case that illustrates how to find the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. In this example PI will be 3.14.
V = pi * r2 * h
= pi * 32 * 5
= pi * 9 * 5
= 3.14 * 45
= 141.37 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=Bh or V=πr2h . The radius of the cylinder is 8 cm and the height is 15 cm.
