This document discusses the formula for calculating the volume of cylinders. It begins by reviewing the formulas for finding the volume of 3D objects like cubes. It then defines key terms like volume and the units used to measure it. The main formula presented is that the volume of a cylinder equals the area of the circular base multiplied by the height. The area of the circular base is calculated using pi r squared. An example problem demonstrates how to find the volume of a cylinder with a given radius and height by using this formula. In the end, it summarizes that the volume of a prism or cylinder is calculated as the area of the base multiplied by the height.
