To calculate the volume of a cylinder, first determine the height or length of the cylinder as well as the diameter. Divide the diameter by two to get the radius, then use this formula:

A prism is a solid geometric object. If you know its shape and dimensions you can calculate its volume.
When you calculate the volume of pipe(or cylinder, as I prefer calling it), you need to know 2 things; the height of the cylinder and the radius of the circle(base of the cylinder). Then you use this formula; hpr^2 (height * pi * radius)
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.
The volume of a cylinder is (pi)r^2h. This means the volume is dependent on both the height and the radius of the cylinder. So, one must know Volume and either radius or height to calculate height or radius respectively.
If you only know the length, and nothing else, you can't. If you know the length and the volume, you can calculate the diameter.
