Exploring the Volume of Cylinders

What is the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder?

• Volume = base area + height

• Volume = pi * radius squared * height

• Volume = pi * diameter squared

• Volume = 2 * pi * radius * height

How do you calculate the volume of a cylinder if you know the area of its base and its height?

• Multiply the base area by the height

• Divide the base area by the height

• Add the base area to the height

• Subtract the height from the base area
