The formula you are referring to, $\pi \times r^2 \times h$, is the formula for the volume of a cylinder. Here’s the breakdown:

• $\pi$ is a constant (approximately 3.14159).
• $r$ is the radius of the base of the cylinder.
• $h$ is the height of the cylinder.

So, the volume of a cylinder is calculated by multiplying the area of the base (which is $\pi r^2$) by the height $h$.

Volume of a Cylinder:

$V = \pi r^2 h$
