The volume of cylinders are measured in cubic units.
The volume of a cylinder (several actually) is important in respect to car engines. A 2 litre engine has cylinders that together create a volume of 2 litres.
It is not the size of the gas tank, it is the displacement volume of all the cylinders during once cycle of all the cylinders put together.
That can be calculated for individual cylinders by the formula :- Pi R (2) x length of piston stroke.
A cylinder is a circle with an added dimension, height. Area of a circle is pi*r^2, and the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h.

Two cylinders with the same volume are not necessarily congruent. One could have a different diameter and length than the other, and still have the same volume.
Displacement
It measure volume of liquids .
No.

In the context of motor size, "liter" refers to the displacement volume of the engine's cylinders in cubic centimeters (cc) or cubic inches (ci). It indicates the total volume of the cylinders in the engine and is often used as a way to measure the engine's capacity and power output.
A cylinder is a circle with an added dimension, height. Area of a circle is pi*r^2, and the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h.
The total volume of all the cylinders would be the cubic inch (cid) or cubic centimeter (cc) displacement of that particular engine.
A US nickel has a radius of 10.6 mm and a thickness of 1.95 mm. Coins can be thought of as thin cylinders, so applying the formula for the volume of a cylinder ( π * r^2 * h), the volume is approximately 3.1416 * 10.6^2 * 1.95 = 688 cubic mm.
