How Is Volume Calculated?
-
-
Volume is the measurement of a space within a solid three-dimensional object. Volume is most often used to measure liquids or gases.
-
Volume is calculated differently for various shapes. For example, a sphere's volume is not calculated the same as a cube's or a cylinder's.

Use the correct volume calculation. A cube's volume is A-cubed where A equals the length of any side. A cylinder's volume is calculated as the radius-squared times the height. A rectangle is the length times the width times the height. A sphere surface volume is the radius cubed, and a pyramid's volume is calculated as the area of the base times the height.
