Sigh. See what happens when people do not use SI units! The dimensional analysis gets very complicated (and when people skip that part, the answer makes no sense).John997766 said:Ok so i know the equation for the volume of a cylinder and the equation for calculating the radius.

The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h, where V is the volume, π is approximately 3.14, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder.
The radius of a cylinder can be found by measuring the distance from the center of the circular base to the edge of the base. Alternatively, if you know the diameter of the cylinder, you can divide it by 2 to find the radius.
No, the radius of a cylinder should always be a positive value. It represents the distance from the center of the base to the edge of the base, and distance cannot be negative.
If the radius is not given, but the diameter is known, you can divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. If neither the radius nor the diameter is given, you will need more information (such as the height or surface area) to calculate the volume.
Yes, the formula V = πr²h can be used to calculate the volume of any cylinder, regardless of its size or dimensions. Just make sure to use the correct units for the radius and height.
