What is the formula for calculating volume?

The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is represented correctly in the chosen response, where Volume = πR² x H. This formula defines the volume as the product of the area of the base and the height of the cylinder.

Here's how it works:

• The base of a cylinder is a circle, and the area of a circle is calculated by the formula A = πR², where R is the radius of the circle.

• To find the volume of the cylinder, you multiply the area of the base (πR²) by the height (H) of the cylinder. This gives you the total space contained within the cylindrical shape by extending the base's area upwards through the height.

This method of calculation ensures that the dimensions of volume (which are cubic units) are appropriately applied, taking into account both the circular base area and how tall the cylinder extends upward. Thus, this formula is foundational in geometry for determining the capacity of cylindrical objects.
