<p>The volume of an oblique cylinder is the total space it occupies or the number of cubic units it can hold. An oblique cylinder differs from a right cylinder in that its sides are not perpendicular to its bases. To find the volume of an oblique cylinder, we use the same formula as for a right cylinder: multiply the area of the base by the height. In real life, kids relate to the volume of an oblique cylinder by thinking of things like a slanted can or a tilted glass. In this topic, let’s learn about the volume of the oblique cylinder.</p>
