How Do You Find the Volume of a Cylinder?

The volume of a cylinder is V=Bh, where B stands for the area of the base and h stands for the height
The base of a cylinder is always a circle
The area of a circle is πr²

1. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=Bh, where B stands for the area of the base and h stands for the height
2. The base of a cylinder is always a circle
1. r, the radius of the cylinder, is 6 in
2. h, the height of the cylinder, is 9 in
1. π is actually a non-repeating decimal that goes on forever, but for this problem we can round it to two decimal places
1. Plug the values for π, r, and h into the formula for the volume of a cylinder
2. Remember, r=6, h=9, and π=3.14
1. We need to solve this for V:
2. V=(3.14)(6)²(9)
3. You can just follow the order of operations to simplify the right hand side
