To calculate the cubic meters (CBM) of a cylinder, you can use the following formula:
where:
- is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
- is the radius of the base of the cylinder.
- is the height of the cylinder.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Measure the radius () of the base of the cylinder. This is the distance from the center of the circle to its outer edge.
Measure the height () of the cylinder. This is the vertical distance between the top and bottom surfaces.
Substitute the values into the formula:
Calculate the result to get the cubic meters.
Keep in mind that the units of measurement for the radius and height should be consistent (e.g., both in meters, centimeters, etc.) to ensure accurate results.
