Example

Finding the Volume of a Cylinder

Calculate the volume of a cylindrical tank with radius 3m and height 10m.

  1. Select the Cylinder shape.
  2. Enter radius r = 3 and height h = 10.
  3. Calculate the base area (πr²): π × 3² = 9π ≈ 28.27 m².
  4. Multiply by height: 28.27 × 10 = 282.7.
  5. Result: 282.7 cubic meters (m³).
