Cylinders
Cylinders are essentially just prisms with the cross sections of circles.
Recall that;
V olume of a solid = unif orm cross sectional area (the slice) ×height
V = lbh
Then by extension the formula for the volume of a cylinder is going to be;
V = A ×h
Examples

1000mm3 = 1cm3
However the capacity of an object is measured in millilitres (mL), litres (L) or kilolitres (kL)
TRIVIA: say for example I had an irregular shaped object such as the meteorite displayed below.
What is the quickest way to determine the VOLUME of such an object?
