The capacity of a cylinder would be its volume. V=(pi)(r^2)(h), where V = volume in cubic units, pi = 3.14159 rounded to six significant figures (you can round to a different value; ask your teacher), r is radius, and h is height.

Suppose you want to find the volume of a 15-cm high cylinder with a diameter of 8.00 cm. The radius is half the diameter, or 4.00 cm. V = (3.14159) x (4.00 cm)^2 x (15 cm) = 754 cm^3 (rounded to three significant figures)

The "capacity" is the volume; use the formula for the volume of a cylinder (base area x height).
