Answer

$V=\pi (R^2-\dfrac{h^2}{4})h$

Work Step by Step

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated as: $V=\pi r^2h$ where, $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the cylinder. By using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the radius as: $r^2+(\frac{h}{2})^2=R^2$ $r^2=R^2-(\frac{h}{2})^2$ $r=\sqrt{R^2-\dfrac{h^2}{4}}$ Now, the volume will be: $Volume, V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (R^2-\dfrac{h^2}{4})h$
