A cylinder has a base area of 154 square centimetres and a height of 10 centimetres. What is its volume?

1. A cylinder is a right prism whose base is a circle. 2. The volume of a right prism is the area of its base multiplied by its height. 3. The base area is 154 square centimetres and the height is 10 centimetres. 4. Multiplying gives 154 times 10, which is 1540 cubic centimetres. 5. Answering 164 cubic centimetres adds the two numbers instead of multiplying them. _Source: Siyavula Mathematics Grade 11 (Everything Maths, CC BY 4.0), Chapter 7: Measurement_
