Hint- Here, we will proceed by using the formula for the circumference of the base of the cylinder which is given by 2πr and from here we will find the radius of the cylinder. Then, we will apply the formula i.e., Volume of the cylinder = πr2h.

Complete Step-by-Step solution:
Let us consider a cylinder having the radius of the base as r cm as shown in the figure
Given, Height of the cylinder, h = 25 cm
Circumference of the base of the cylinder = 132 cm
As we know that the circumference of the base of any cylinder having radius r and height h is given by
Circumference of the base of the cylinder = 2πr
132=2πr
Taking π=227, we have
132=2(227)rr=1322(227)r=132×744=3×7r=21 cm
The radius of the given cylinder is 21 cm
Also, we know that the volume of any cylinder having radius r and height h is given by
Volume of the cylinder = πr2h
Using the above formula, the required volume of the given cylinder is given by
V=πr2h
Putting r = 21 cm, h = 25 cm and π=227 in the above equation, we have
V=(227)×(21)2×25V=34650 cm3
Therefore, the required volume of the given cylinder is 34650 cm3.

Note- The radius of any cylinder always remains constant i.e., the radius is the same at any level as the radius at the base. Since, the base of any cylinder is circular in geometry (having radius of the circle as the radius of the cylinder) that’s why the circumference of the base of the cylinder is equal to the circumference of a circle having the same radius as that of the cylinder.
