Hint:To solve this type of particular problem we should know basic geometry formulas.The area of the right circular prism is πr2 where r is the radius of the base of the right circular prism. And the volume of right circular prism is πr2h where h is the height of right circular prism.Substituting area of right circular prism value in volume of right circular prism we get the required answer.

Formula used:

Area of base of right circular prism is = 50cm2
Height = 8cm
Now we have to find volume so for that
We know formula to find area of base of right circular prism is = πr2
So πr2=50cm2............(1)
Now we know the height (h) = 8cm
And formula to find volume of right circular prism is = πr2h
So by putting value from equation (1) and value of h
We get volume (V) = 50×8cm3
So V=400cm3
So volume of right circular prism is 400cm3

Note:There is no need to find the radius of the right circular prism,we can directly find volume by just putting the value of the area of right circular prism.Students should remember all the basic formulas of volume and area of 3D figures.
