Volume of a Cylinder: Using Radius and Height

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a right circular cylinder using its radius and height. It begins with a problem setup, asking viewers to find the volume given certain dimensions. The instructor explains the formula for volume, which is the area of the base times the height, and adapts it for a cylinder using πR² for the base area. The video guides viewers through identifying the radius and height from the given diameter and height, and then demonstrates the calculation step-by-step, leaving the answer in terms of π. The tutorial concludes with encouragement to continue learning math.
