Calculating the Volume of a Cylinder

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a cylinder. It begins by defining volume as the space occupied by an object and uses a cylinder as an example. The tutorial derives the formula for volume, which is the area of the base times the height, and applies it to two examples. The first example uses a cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and a height of 10 cm, while the second example involves converting a given diameter to a radius to find the volume. The video emphasizes the importance of using the correct units and understanding the geometric principles behind the calculations.

What is the formula to calculate the area of a circle's base?

• Area = 2 * pi * radius

• Area = pi * radius squared

• Area = radius squared / pi

• Area = pi * diameter
