$$Cube^3$$ = 64 ---> 4*4*4

lenght of one of the sides of a cube is 4, hence raius of circular base of cylinder is 2

To find vulume of circular cylinder , mupltiply Area of the Base of cylinder by height of cylinder ( 12.56 *4 = ca 50 )

Area of Base of Cylinder = piR^2 = ---> 3.14 *4 = 12.56

High = 4

side of cube = 4
draw a figure as described we can see that the diameter would 4 , radius 2 , height 4
3.14 * 4*2^2= ~ 50 option B
