In common use however cylinder refers to a right circular cylinder where the bases of the cylinder are circles connected through their centers by an axis perpendicular to the planes of its bases with given height h and radius r. The formula for the volume of a cylinder circular prism is derived from the volume of a prism where r is the radius and h is the heightlength. This tank volume calculator is capable of giving all range of inputs at the same time.
The cubic volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the radius times the radius times pi times the height.
Because a cylinder is a flat-top figure a solid with two congruent parallel bases the base can be either the top or bottom. Like prisms the volume is found by multiplying the area of one end of the cylinder base by its height. In common use however cylinder refers to a right circular cylinder where the bases of the cylinder are circles connected through their centers by an axis perpendicular to the planes of its bases with given height h and radius r. Multiply the area of the cylinder base the circle by the height of the cylinder.
