Understanding the Volume of a Cylinder

This video tutorial from MooMoo Math explains how to find the volume of a cylinder. It begins with an introduction to the volume formula, V = πr²h, where πr² is the area of the base and h is the height. The tutorial then breaks down the formula, explaining how to calculate the area of the base using the radius, which is half of the diameter. Finally, it demonstrates how to multiply the base area by the height to find the volume, emphasizing that volume is measured in cubic units.
