Volume of a cylinder is easy: Vol= [(pi) x radius^2] x height of cylinder] Where Pi= 3.1416 approx and radius = 1/2 of cylinder diameter The volume of a prism is complicated because it depends on the type of prism. for a regular shape prism the formula is : Vol = (area of base) x height If the prism is a "union" of differents shapes, you have to split the prism in smaller/single/easy shapes and calculate the volumes individually and then add the resulting volumes

What is the general formula for finding the volume of a prism or cylinder?
Area=Bh when B=area of the base, and h=height of the prism/cylinder
How is the cylinder and rectangular prism alike?
Both the cylinder and rectangular prism are solid objects. Volume of both can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height.
Why is the radius squared when finding the volume of the cylinder?
because when you find the volume of a rectangular prism you basically get the area of the base and multiply it by its height and for the cylinder the area of its base = pi(r^2) which you then multiply by its height to give you its volume no way in hell am i explaing to you the calculus and limit stand point of this >_>; sorry
How do you find the volume of a hexagonal prism?
Volume = Area of base x height
A cylinder is a prism of?
A cylinder has to parallel bases (circles) therefore a cylinder is circular prism
