An informal argument for the formula for the volume of a cylinder could be: "To find the volume of a cylinder, you can imagine cutting the cylinder into thin circular discs and stacking them on top of each other. The volume of each disc is the area of the base (πr^2) multiplied by the height (h). By adding up the volumes of all the discs, you get the total volume of the cylinder, which is πr^2h."
