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.
