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

SUMMARY
The volume of a hollow cylinder can be calculated by treating it as two separate cylinders: the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by V = h × A, where V is the volume, h is the height, and A is the area of the circular base. To find the volume of the hollow part, subtract the volume of the inner cylinder from the volume of the outer cylinder. For detailed calculations, refer to resources such as Engineering Toolbox.

Sorry, I have no clue. Maybe, height times width times length like the others?phinds said:

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.
