The radius and the Height

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

#V=pir^2h#

The general formula for volume is base times height (taken from rectangular prism), and works for most prisms after accounting for differences.

An example would be the volume of a right rectangular pyramid. It has the same formula as a rectangular prism (#V=lwh#) and accounts for its size difference by needing to divide the product by 3.

Anyways, from the cylinder formula, you see 3 variables.

#pi# is a constant
#r# is the radius
#h# is the height.

Therefore, the 2 measurements you need to know are radius and height.
