Formula:
Volume = π x r² x h
Where:
π = Pi = 3.14159
r = Radius = 1/2 Diameter
h = Height
Example
You have a cylinder with a 5 inch diameter and it’s 6 inches high. What is the volume of this cylinder?
(5 Inch Diameter Divided by 2) = 2.5 Inch Radius
2.5 Inch Radius × 2.5 Inch Radius = 6.25
6.25 × 6 Inches Height = 37.5
37.5 × 3.14159 = 117.809625 Cubic Inches
The volume of a cylinder 5 inches in diameter and 6 inches high is 117.81 cubic inches.
Additional Conversion Information:
Convert cubic inches to cubic centimeters: 1 Cubic Inch = 16.387064 Cubic Centimeters
117.809625 Cubic Inches × 16.387064 = 1930.55 Cubic Centimeters
Convert cubic inches to liters: 1 Cubic Inch = 0.016387064 Liters
117.809625 Cubic Inches × 0.016387064 = 1.9305 Liters
