Answer 1

B: Find the area of the base and multiply by the height of the cylinder

Explanation:

Its just like any other prism volume formula: V=Bh. Another formula for a cylinder could be V= 3.14(pi) x r(radius)^2 x h(height). Pi is included because the base is a circle, so you need the area of a circle.
