Have you searched for formulas for volume?
Here is one source:
Volume formulas review (article) | Khan Academy
Review the formulas for the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres.
As that explains, prisms and cylinders are basically the same thing, and use essentially the same formula.

Hi amy rose,
Welcome to freeMATHhelp.
Do you understand what a Prism is?
It is a solid figure that you can stand in a certain way so that its Cross-Sectional Area (Shape) is the same from the bottom (its Base) all the way up to the top.
This means that its Volume then simply becomes the Area of its Base multiplied by its Height.
You appear to have a Cylinder in your question; that is what we call a Circular Prism (because its base is a Circle).
Do you know how to calculate the Area of a Circle?
Please show us your attempt to answer the problem you have been given and we will offer any further help you might need from there.
