        Find the volume of a right circular cylinder by using the formula V = pi*r^2*h. V equals the volume of the cylinder. Pi is the Greek letter that equals the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle and its value is 3.14159. R is the radius of the circular ends of the cylinder and h equals the height of the cylinder.
