A cylinder is a geometrical shape that looks like a traditional tin with a circular base and a circular top. The volume is the space occupied and it’s measures in cubic units.

There are two main types of cylinders; a right circular cylinder and an oblique cylinder. The term “Cylinder” normally refers to the right circular cylinder unless stated otherwise. This is a cylinder whose elements are perpendicular to the base.

Example:

What is the volume of a cylinder wit a radius of 3m and a height of 5m?

Since we already have our values; r=3 and h=5 and π will always be 3.142 then all we need to do is feed these values into the cylinder volume formula.
