How to Calculate Volume

Introduction:

In this lesson... let me help you go through on how to calculate volume. Following are the major points which will help you understand better.

Volume is how much three-dimensional space a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains, often quantified numerically using the SI derived unit, the cubic meter.

To calculate volume of different shapes, we use the general formulas.

In this article of how do u calculate volume, we are going to discuss about calculating volume of few different shapes using the formulas.

Formulas to calculate volume

V=πr²h
Where:
V stands for volume
r stands for radius
and
h stands for height
Lets illustrate this with an example
Suppose that the radius of the base of the cylinder is 7 cm and its height is 12 cm
V=πr²h
V=3.142*7²*12
V=1847.50

Example Problems:

This is just a sample problem on calculate volume

Problem :

Calculate the volume of the a cube with Side length = 4m.

Solution:

Volume of a cube = a³

= 4³

= 64 m³
