Formula for the Volume of a Cylinder
The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder is V = Bh. This is the same formula we use to find the
volume of a triangular prism. The capital B in the formula represents the area of the base. For a cylinder,
the base is a circle rather than a triangle. The height may be vertical or horizontal, but it is always the
distance between the two circular bases.

You know the formula for finding the area of a circle is A = πr
. Put πr

in place of B in the formula.
Substitute the correct number for each variable in the formula and solve the equation. Study the example.
A storage tank for petroleum has a circular
5 m
base with a radius of 5 m. The tank is 8 m
high. What is the volume of the tank?
V = Bh
8 m
V = (πr
)h

V = (3.14 × 5 × 5) × 8
V = 78.5 × 8
V = 628
Remember that volume is given in cubic units. The volume of the storage tank is 628 cubic meters, or
