Enter any two of the three values (radius, height and volume) using consistent units, then click calculate to get the missing one.
A right circular cylinder is a solid with two parallel circular bases of equal size. Its key dimensions are the base radius r and height h.
If r is the base radius and h is the height, the volume of a cylinder is given by V = π · r² · h. This calculator uses that formula to convert between radius, height and volume.
When radius and height are known, volume is computed from V = π · r² · h. When volume and one dimension are known, you can invert the formulas r = √(V / (πh)) or h = V / (πr²) to find the missing value. As long as you keep units consistent, the result has clear physical meaning.
All inputs must be greater than 0. If the volume looks far too large or small compared with r²h, it may indicate unit mismatch or input errors.
V = π · r² · h.
Volume is proportional to height, so it doubles as well.
Volume is proportional to r², so doubling radius makes volume four times larger.
V = π · 3² · 5 = 45π, approximately 141.4 when π ≈ 3.1416.
Because volume combines area and height into cubic units; inconsistent units make the result physically meaningless.
In water tanks, storage cylinders, pipes, mechanical parts and many engineering problems.
That does not represent a real cylinder, and this tool will report that the value must be greater than zero.
The cone's volume is exactly one third of the corresponding cylinder's volume.
First compute the container's volume, then multiply or convert according to material density to estimate mass or quantity.
It quickly evaluates many combinations of radius and height, reduces arithmetic mistakes and speeds up learning and engineering work.
This tool lets you switch between “given radius and height, find volume” and “given volume plus one dimension, solve for the other”, useful for geometry, tanks and containers.
