How to Calculate Cylinder Volume

A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid with two parallel circular bases. Its volume is calculated by multiplying the area of the base (πr²) by the height (h):

Volume = π × radius² × height

Common Applications

Water tanks and storage containers
Industrial pipes and cylinders
Fuel tanks and gas containers
Civil engineering projects
Manufacturing and construction

Tips for Accurate Measurement

Measure the radius from the center to the edge
Ensure the height is perpendicular to the base
Use consistent units for both measurements
For irregular cylinders, take multiple measurements and average them
