A:
Answer: V = πr²hStep-by-step explanation:The formula for the volume of a cylinder is ... V = πr²hwhere V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder._____Comment on the formulaThis is a specific version of the formula for any sort of "prism" with parallel bases and a uniform cross section (parallel to the bases). The volume of such a figure is computed as ... V = Bhwhere B is the area of the base and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel bases. Here, the base is a circle, so has area formula ... B = πr²Filling this into the volume formula gives ... V = πr²h . . . . . as above
