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

\[ V = Bh \]

where \( B \) is the area of the base of the cylinder and \( h \) is the height. For a right cylinder with a circular base, the area \( B \) of the base is given by:

\[ B = \pi r^2 \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the base. Therefore, we can substitute \( B \) into the volume formula:

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

So among the provided options, the equivalent formula to \( V = Bh \) is:

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