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
