How to Calculate Volume
What is Volume?
Volume measures the amount of 3D space an object occupies. Common formulas: cube (s³), rectangular prism (lwh), sphere (4πr³/3), cylinder (πr²h), cone (πr²h/3). Volume is measured in cubic units (m³, ft³) or capacity units (L, gal).
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Cube: V = s³
- 2Rectangular prism: V = l × w × h
- 3Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³
- 4Cylinder: V = πr²h
- 5Cone: V = (1/3)πr²h
Worked Examples
Input
