To find the volume of the cylinder, multiply the height of it by the area of its base (its bottom). The volume of a cylinder is expressed as V = h(pi r^2). If you want to find an approximate volume for the substance in the cylinder, multiply the height of the substance by the base of the cylinder. Again, V = h(pi r^2).
It is quite simple if it is a regular shaped object like a cylinder or a cube. For example if you wanted calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius of the circular cross-section of the cylinder - this is the measurement from the centre of the circle, to the outer-edge and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. For irregular shaped objects don't think there is a simple mathematical way if you don't know the density but you can always use water displacement to get a volume measurement. Just drop the object you want to know the volume off into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water - the amount the level rises will be roughly equal to the volume of the object you dropped in.
volume
Calculate the volume of a single cylinder and multiply it by the number of cylinders.
The volume should not change if the cylinder is rigid.
The formula to calculate volume of a cylinder is: V = r2 x Pi x height (r = radius)
Volume of a cylinder = (pi) x (radius of the end)2 x (length)
Volume of a cylinder = (pi) x (Radius)2 x (Length)
Mass and volume are needed to calculate the density of a graduated cylinder.
Volume = pi*radius2*height
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:V = radius2 x Pi x length
Use the formula for a cylinder.
Volume in cubic units = pi*radius2*height
