I would like to Know how you find the Volume of a Cylinder, maybe if you knew could you explain the Process.

The process is simply to find the area of the base:
A = πr²
And then multiply it by the height:
V = Ah = πr²h

Set the cylinder on its end on a table. Measure the width of the cylinder. Divide that number by 2. The resulting number will be the radius (r) of the cylinder. Measure the height (h) of the cylinder. Now with the following formula you can calculate the volume of a cylinder.
V=3.14 X (r X r) X h
3.14 is pi
r X r is r squared
h is the height
Be sure to keep the units the same. Pi has no units, the end result should be some unit of measure cubed.
That is how volume is calculated for a cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the following formula.
V = pi * r^2 * h
This is actually easily explained why this is the case.
You know how a circle has area pi*(r^2)? Think of a STACK of circles (which is essentially what a cylinder is). That would mean this stack of circles would have a particular height, h. For that reason,
V = (area of a circle) times (height of the stack), OR
V = pi(r^2) times h
v = pi(r^2)h

volume of a cylinder = base area x height
= 3.142 r^2 h

Area of the base times the height. for a right circular cylinfer this is
V=πr^2h
