How do you find the volume of a cylinder?

To find the volume of a cylinder, the correct formula is Volume = πr²h. This formula is derived from the concept of calculating the space occupied by the cylinder based on its dimensions.

In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the base of the cylinder, "h" is the height, and "π" (Pi) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14. The volume is essentially the area of the base multiplied by the height. The base of a cylinder is a circle, and the area of a circle is calculated as πr². By multiplying the area of the circular base (πr²) by the height (h), you obtain the total volume of the cylinder.

This fundamental understanding of the geometry involved is why this formula is universally used in various fields, including aviation maintenance, to quickly calculate the volume of cylindrical objects like tanks and pipes, which are common in aircraft systems.
