Cylinder – Volume of a Cylinder

A cylinder is a prism with a uniform circular cross-section. Every prism with a uniform cross-section has a volume equal to the base area × height 

⇒ volume of cylinder = area of circular base × height 

= \( \scriptsize \pi r^2 \: \times \: h \)

= \( \scriptsize \pi r^2 h\)

Example 5.3.1 

Calculate the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 10 cm and a height of 5 cm.

\( \scriptsize Take \: \pi = \frac{22}{7} \)
