                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let Circumference of base = πd 
 ⇒ πd = 6π ⇒ d = 6 cm
 ∴ Height, h = 6 cm
 Volume of the cylinder,V = πr²h = πd³ = π(6)³ cc = 54π cc 4 4 4 Correct Option: ALet Circumference of base = πd 
 ⇒ πd = 6π ⇒ d = 6 cm
 ∴ Height, h = 6 cm
 Volume of the cylinder,V = πr²h = πd³ = π(6)³ cc = 54π cc 4 4 4
