Common Volume Formulas

Cube: V = side³

Rectangular Prism: V = l × w × h

Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³

Cylinder: V = πr²h

Cone: V = (1/3)πr²h

Pyramid: V = (1/3) × base area × height

Triangular Prism: V = (1/2) × base × height × length

Ellipsoid: V = (4/3)πabc

Volume Unit Conversions

1 m³ = 1,000 liters = 264.17 gallons

1 ft³ = 1,728 in³ = 7.48 gallons

1 liter = 1,000 cm³

Understanding Volume

What is Volume?

Volume measures the amount of 3D space inside a shape. It's expressed in cubic units like cm³, m³, ft³, liters, gallons, etc.

Prisms vs Curved Shapes

Prisms have uniform cross-sections and use base area × height. Curved shapes like spheres and cones require more complex formulas.

Volume vs Surface Area

Volume measures space inside (cubic units), while surface area measures the outer covering (square units). Both are important in design.

Real-World Applications

Volume calculations are used in manufacturing, shipping, construction, cooking, medicine dosage, and fluid dynamics.
