Because it's the circumference of the top and bottom circle times the height plus two times the area of the circle.

What is the formula to find the volume for cylinder by using diameter?
The diameter, alone, is not enough to find the volume of a cylinder. You need the height as well. > Where pi = 3.1416, and d = cylinder diameter cylinder volume = pi * (d/2)2 * length of cylinder
How o you find volume?
volume of a cube is length, by width by height. To calculate the volume of a cylinder you need to know the radius and the height and multiply.
How do you find the volume of a cylinder if you only have the height?
The simple answer is - you can't ! You need the addition of either the diameter or radius in order to calculate the volume.
How to find the volume of an irregular shape?
To find the volume of an irregular shape, you need to use the water displacement method. If the object can fit into a graduated cylinder, fill the cylinder with enough water to adequately cover the object, but don't put the object inside the cylinder yet. Record the amount of water in the cylinder. Carefully drop the object into the cylinder. This will cause a rise in the water in the cylinder. Record this second volume. Subtract the first volume from the second volume, and the difference is the volume of the irregular object. For larger objects, use an overflow can.
How do you find the volume of a cylinder when given the diameter?
Stand it on a circular end, like a tin can standing on a shelf.Its volume is the area of its circular base, multiplied by its height.Another Answser:To answer the specific question, you can not find the volume of a cylinder when given only its diameter. You need also its length.

What is the radius of a cylinder with a volume of 980?
To be able to find the radius of the cylinder, you need to know not only its volume but also its height. The best we can do is find an expression for the radius in terms of the height of the cylinder volume of cylinder = Pi x r2 x h where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder 980 = Pi x r2 x h r = square root(980/(Pi x h))
How do you calculate weight of hollow cylinder?
In order to Calculate the weight of a hollow cylinder, you need to find out the density of the material of the cylinder first. once you have that, you can use the formulas below Find out volume of material as follows: Volume = Pi * (Outer Diameter of Cylinder)2/4 - Pi * (Inner Diameter of Cylinder)2/4 Mass = Density * Volume( from above equation) Note: Remember that units of Density and volume should be matching.
How do you find the radius and the height for a cylinder when giving its volume?
the volume of a cylinder equals pi times the radius squared times the height. If you have the volume, you can't know the radius or the height, only their proportional value. You need more information
Cubic feet in a cylinder?
Your question is unanswerable, as asked, but you can easily calculate the volume of a cylinder once you know its size. To determine the volume of a cylinder, you need to find the area of the circle, and then multiply that by the height of the cylinder. (Pi X Radius squared X height) Good luck.
How do you find the circumference from the volume?
circumference is the perimeter of a circle. a circle is 2 dimensional. volume is 3 dimensional. you need to state what shape it is. I could guess that you are talking about a cylinder. the volume is pi.r2.h, if you find the radius from the volume, you can find the perimeter of the circle by 2.pi.r
Where do you measure the curve of a cylinder to find its volume?
A good place to measure is the diameter of the circular end. That gives you the area of the circular end, and the only other number you need in order to calculate the cylinder's volume is its straight length.
How do you find the width length and height of a cylinder if you aleady have your volume?
Impossible to answer. You'd need at least one other measurement.
