Volume of a cylinder worksheets
A cylinder is a circle with height. These free printable worksheets give one measurement and the height, and every answer comes out exact at two decimal places.

What's on this sheet
The mistake this sheet is really about is not the formula, it is the measurement you were handed. A child given the diameter who puts it where πr²h wants the radius is out by a factor of four, because the formula squares it. So each figure says which measurement it is showing, and the sheet can be narrowed to radius only, to diameter only, or left mixed — which is the hardest, since the child has to notice which they were given.
Why this sheet works
π is 3.14 here rather than 22/7. Every whole radius and height in range comes out exact at two decimal places, so no sheet needs a rounding instruction and no answer is a surd a thirteen-year-old cannot write in a blank.
How this one works
One question from a sheet like this one, worked a step at a time — with a sentence saying what just happened and why.
