Answer:
cylinder volume formula
v = (π * r²) * h
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of a cylinder we have to multiply the height by the area of the circle that is the base
The area of a circle is calculated with this formula (a = π * r²)
Let's do an example where the radius is 5.5ft and the height is 13ft to see how to calculate the volume
To calculate the volume of a cylinder we have to use the following formula:
v = volume
h = height = 13ft
π = 3.14
r = radius = 5.5ft
v = (π * r²) * h
we replace the unknowns with the values we know
v = (3.14 * (5.5ft)²) * 13ft
v = (3.14 * 30.25ft²) * 13ft
v = 94.985ft² * 13ft
v = 1234.805ft³
The volume of the cylinder is 1234.805ft³
