Answer:
Explanation:
A cylinder is a surface or solid bounded by two parallel planes and generated by a straight line moving parallel to the given planes and tracing a curve bounded by the planes and lying in a plane perpendicular or oblique to the given planes
The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is similar to calculating the volume of a cube. The volume of a cube is equal to the Area of the Base (length times width) times the height of the cube.
[ V = (L x W) x H ] or [ V = A x H ]
The volume of a cylinder is the Area of the Base times the Height of the Cylinder
[ V = A x H ].
The Base of a cylinder is a circle. The formula for calculating the Area of a Circle is the constant Pi (∏) times the square of the Radius
[ A = ∏ x R² ]
and the formula for calculating the Radius of a Circle is the Diameter divided by 2
[ R = 1/2D ].
Therefore the formula for calculating the volume of the cylinder is
[ V = (∏ x (1/2D)² ].
