Volume Calculator FAQ
Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container. It's measured in cubic units such as cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic meters (m³), or cubic inches (in³).
Volume calculation varies by shape: cubes use s³, spheres use (4/3)πr³, cylinders use πr²h, and cones use (1/3)πr²h. Each formula accounts for the specific three-dimensional properties of the shape.
Different 3D shapes require specific volume formulas:
- Cube: V = s³ (where s is side length)
- Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³ (where r is radius)
- Cylinder: V = πr²h (where r is radius, h is height)
- Cone: V = (1/3)πr²h (where r is radius, h is height)
- Rectangular Prism: V = l×w×h (where l, w, h are dimensions)
Volume: Measures the three-dimensional space contained within an object (3D measurement in cubic units). It tells you how much space the object occupies or how much material it can hold.
Surface Area: Measures the total area of all outer surfaces (2D measurement in square units). It tells you how much material is needed to cover the object completely.
