To find the volume \( V \) of a right circular cylinder, we can use the formula:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius of the base,
  • \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14 \).

In this case, the radius \( r = 12 \) cm and the height \( h = 32 \) cm.

Now, plug in the values:

\[ V = 3.14 \times (12)^2 \times 32 \]

Calculating \( (12)^2 \):

\[ (12)^2 = 144 \]

Now plug this back into the volume formula:

\[ V = 3.14 \times 144 \times 32 \]

Next, calculate \( 144 \times 32 \):

\[ 144 \times 32 = 4608 \]

Now multiply by \( 3.14 \):

\[ V = 3.14 \times 4608 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ V = 14493.92 \]

Thus, the volume of the right circular cylinder is:

\[ \boxed{14493.92 , \text{cm}^3} \]
