A hollow right cylinder is a three-dimensional shape that consists of a cylinder with a hollow center. It has a circular base, straight parallel sides, and two circular faces at the top and bottom. The inner and outer radii of the cylinder can vary, but the height remains constant.

Some real-life examples of objects with similar shapes to a hollow right cylinder are a pipe, a thermos, and a cardboard roll from a roll of paper towels or toilet paper. These objects are used to contain fluids or other materials and protect them from the environment.

The formula for determining the volume of a hollow right cylinder is defined as:

\(V\) \(=\) \(\pi\) \(\cdot\) \(h\) \(\cdot\) \((R^2\) \(-\) \(r^2)\)

\(V\): the volume of the hollow cylinder

\(r\): the radius of the inner ring

\(R\): the radius of the outer ring

\(h\): the height of the cylinder

The SI unit of volume is: \(cubic \text{ } meter\text{ }(m^3)\)
