Volume

Volume is defined as the amount of space occupied by an object.

Definition of a Cylinder

A cylinder is a closed solid with two parallel (usually circular) bases joined by a curved surface.

Volume of a Cylinder

The volume of a cylinder is the capacity of a cylinder that determines the amount of material carried within it.

Volume of a Cylinder

The volume of a cylinder is calculated using its radius and height.

Volume of a Cylinder Formula

Let cylinder’s volume of base radius ‘r’, and height ‘h’ = (area of base) × height.

Example

The diameter and height of a cylinder are 28 cm and 10 cm respectively. What is the volume of the cylinder?

Volume of a Hollow Cylinder

In the case of a hollow cylinder, we measure two radii.

Example

Find the volume of a hollow cylinder having inner  radius = 6 cm, outer  radius = 8 cm and  height = 7 cm (use pi = 22/7)
