ANSWER

C) V=πr²h

Step-by-step explanation

The formula for calculating the volume of a prism is


V = Bh

where B represents the area of the base and h represents the height of the prism.

A cylinder is a prism with a circular base.

Therefore area of the base is


B = \pi \: {r}^(2)

Therefore the volume of the cylinder is


V = \pi \: {r}^(2) h

The correct choice is C.
