What is the Cylinder Volume?

Volume of a cylinder

This formula is widely used in geometry applications. Understanding when and how to apply it helps you interpret calculator results correctly and catch input errors before they propagate.

Formula

V = pi * r^2 * h

Substitute known values into the formula above. Ensure all variables use consistent units before calculating.

Worked Example

r=2, h=5 gives V about 62.83
