Understanding the Volume of Cylinders

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of cylinders using the formula: volume equals the area of the base times the height. It provides practical examples, including using the Pi key on calculators for precise calculations. The tutorial also covers solving for unknown dimensions, such as height or radius, using given volume or circumference values. Instructions are given for leaving answers in terms of Pi and converting them to decimals.

What is the primary concept introduced when discussing the volume of a stack of coins?

• The color of the coins
