The volume of a cylinder is given by:



Where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

The first thing you need to do is to find the radius. You are given the diameter which is twice the radius, so just divide by 2 giving you 30mm. However, you have one more step. The question asks for the volume in cubic centimeters, so you need to convert the 30 mm radius to centimeters. 30mm = 3cm.

Now just substitute your values into the formula:



You can do your own arithmetic.
