About the Cylinder Volume calculator

Find the volume, base area and side surface of a cylinder.

How to use the Cylinder Volume calculator

  1. Enter the Base Radius (r) and the Vertical Extrusion (h) (the height).
  2. Press Calculate Cylinder Volume.

Formula and method

V = Ļ€ Ɨ r² Ɨ h. The lateral surface is 2Ļ€rh.

Worked example

A cylinder with radius 3 and height 10 holds about 282.74 cubic units.

Tips

  • 1,000 cm³ equals 1 litre.
  • Use the same units for radius and height.
