How do you find the volume of a cake pan?

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is \(\pi r^2 h\), where \(\pi\) is approximately 3.14, \(r\) is the radius of the base (half the diameter), and \(h\) is the height.

For example, if you have a cake pan with a diameter of 9 inches and a height of 2.5 inches, the volume of the pan would be approximately 589 cubic inches.

Here are the steps to find the volume of a cake pan:

1. Measure the diameter of the cake pan.

2. Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius.

3. Measure the height of the cake pan.

4. Plug the values for radius and height into the formula \(\pi r^2 h\).

5. Calculate the volume of the cake pan.
