The volume of a three-dimensional object depends on its shape. Here are the formulas for finding the volume of some common geometric shapes:
- Cuboid (Rectangular Prism):
- Volume (V) = length × width × height
- Cube:
- Volume (V) = side length^3
- Cylinder:
- Volume (V) = π × radius^2 × height
- Cone:
- Volume (V) = (1/3) × π × radius^2 × height
- Sphere:
- Volume (V) = (4/3) × π × radius^3
- Pyramid:
- Volume (V) = (1/3) × base area × height
- V=1/3bℎ, where B is the area of the base.
Make sure to use consistent units for length measurements when plugging values into these formulas. Additionally, π (pi) is approximately 3.14159.
