Worked example

Find the volume when Radius = 5 cm, Height = 10 cm.

Using V = π r² h: Volume = 785.4 cm³.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Volume of a cylinder?

V = π r² h.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Volume in cm³, Radius in cm, Height in cm.

How do you calculate volume?

Put the values into V = π r² h. For example, with Radius = 5 cm, Height = 10 cm, volume = 785.4 cm³.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (volume, radius, height) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
