Charlie, a math teacher, explains how to find the volume of a cylinder using its diameter. He introduces the volume formula V = πr²H and describes a cylinder as stacked circles. He demonstrates how to calculate the volume when given the diameter by converting it to radius and using an example with specific values. The tutorial concludes with a reminder of the need for height in the calculation.
