Volume of a Cylinder Calculator
A cylinder is a three dimensional shape with two circular bases that are parallel
The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of one base by its height.

Find the volume of a cylinder with the following dimensions
Radius = 2
Height = 3
Step 1
Step 2
This step involves multiplying the radius squared times the height of the cone
16 = the radius squared
3 = the height of the cone
4 = radius squared

Finding the height of a cylinder
If a cylinder has a volume of 288π and a radius of 6 units what is the cylinders height?
Step 1.Plug your given information into the volume of a cylinder formula.
Volume = πr^2 * h
r=radius of the circular end of the cylinder
h =height of the cylinder
288π = π6^2 * height
Step 2 . 288π = π36 * height The 6^2 from step 1 becomes 36 because
6 squared =36
Step 3. Divide each side by 36π
288π/36π = π36/ π36 * height Once you divide you are left with 8
Step 4. 8 units = height of the cylinder
