Answer:
V = πr²h
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ...
V = πr²h
where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder.
_____
Comment on the formula
This is a specific version of the formula for any sort of "prism" with parallel bases and a uniform cross section (parallel to the bases). The volume of such a figure is computed as ...
V = Bh
where B is the area of the base and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel bases. Here, the base is a circle, so has area formula ...
B = πr²
Filling this into the volume formula gives ...
V = πr²h . . . . . as above
