B How to calculate a hollow cylinder's volume without the hollow center?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the volume of a hollow cylinder while excluding the hollow center, one can treat it as two separate cylinders: the outer and inner. The volume of a cylinder is determined by the formula height times the area of its circular base. By calculating the volume of the outer cylinder and subtracting the volume of the inner cylinder, the volume of the wall can be found. Additional resources, such as links to engineering websites, can provide further guidance. This method effectively isolates the volume of the hollow cylinder's wall.

Hello, how do we calculate the volume of a hollow cylinder but only calculating the wall excluding the hollow center?

Do you know how to calculate the volume of a cylinder?

Sorry, I have no clue. Maybe, height times width times length like the others?
 
Do you know how to use Google?

It didn't tell me how to calculate a hollow cylinder without taking the hollow center together.
 
look up cylinder on wikipedia and you will see the volume formula.

Next consider the hollow cylinder as two cylinders where you compute the volume of the outer cylinder and subtract the volume of the inner cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is the height x the area of its circular base.
