GCSE Maths Foundation Level

Volume Of A Cylinder

Volume = π × Radius² × Height

Thank you to the maths.com user of
GCSE Foundation Topics
who asked for the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

r = radius of base of cylinder
h = height of cylinder
Volume of Cylinder
= π × r × r × h
= π × r² × h
= π r² h
which can be said as "pi r squared h".

Please ask a further question if all is not clear.
