Volume is a measure of how much space there is inside a 3D shape. To calculate the volume of a cylinder we use the formula V=π(r^2)h where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. Notice that this is very similar to the formula for the volume of a prism, V = text{Cross-sectional area} times text{Height} . In the case of a cylinder the cross-section is a circle, with the area of a circle being π(r^2) and this is multiplied by the height or length of the shape.
The volume of the cylinder is measured in units cubed, for example cm^3 or mm^3 . We will often be asked to either give an answer in terms of pi ( π ) or to round the answer to a given degree of accuracy, such as to the nearest tenth.
Looking forward, students can then progress to additional volume worksheets and other geometry worksheets, for example a simplifying expressions worksheet or simultaneous equations worksheet.
