The volume of any cylinder is (pi) x (radius of the circular end)2 x (length of the cylinder)
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.
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.
Volume of a cylinder = (pi) x (Radius)2 x (Length)
To find the base area of any prism, including the circular prism called cylinder, divide the volume by the height.
