FAQ

What is the cylinder volume formula?

Volume = πr²h, where r is the base radius and h is the height.

Can I use diameter instead of radius?

Yes, divide diameter by 2 to get radius, or use V = π(d/2)²h = πd²h/4.

How do I find capacity in liters?

If dimensions are in cm, volume in cm³ equals mL. Divide by 1000 for liters.

What about hollow cylinders (tubes)?

Calculate outer cylinder minus inner cylinder: V = πh(R² - r²) where R is outer and r is inner radius.
