How to find volume of a cylinder

Topic :- Volume of cylinder

A cylinder is one of the most basic curvilinear geometric shape, the surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straight line, the axis of the cylinder.

Here is one sample problem on how you can find the volume.

Question:-
In a cylinder radius is 3 inches and height is 8 inches ,find the volume of the cylinder.

Solution:-

Formula for cylinder volume= Π r2 h


So Π =3.14

r =radius=3

h =height=8

Hence, Volume of the cylinder

= 3.14 * (3)2*8

= 3.14 * 9 * 8

= 226.08


So the volume of the cylinder is
226.08 cubic inches.
