To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you need to know the height of the cylinder. The volume can be calculated using the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height. Since you have the radius (7 inches), the only additional piece of information needed is the height of the cylinder.
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
