volume of cylinder in litres

The volume of a cylinder in litres is calculated using the formula: Volume = π × radius² × height, where radius and height are in centimetres. Since 1 litre equals 1000 cubic centimetres, you then divide the volume in cubic centimetres by 1000 to get litres.

For example, a cylinder with a radius of 10 cm and height of 20 cm has a volume of π × 10² × 20 = 6283 cm³, which is 6.283 litres. Handy for measuring fuel tanks or that suspiciously large mug on your desk.

Always double-check your units and calculations, lest you end up with a fuel tank the size of a swimming pool. Consult official maths or engineering references for precision.
