About Volume Calculation
Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface. The volume of a solid can be determined using various formulas depending on its shape. This calculator supports common 3D shapes including cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres.
How to Use
- Select a 3D shape from the dropdown menu
- Choose your preferred unit of measurement
- Enter the required dimensions:
- For cube: side length
- For rectangular prism: length, width, and height
- For cylinder and cone: radius and height
- For sphere: radius
- Click "Calculate Volume" to see the result
- View the formula used for calculation

Tips for Accurate Measurements
- Always use consistent units of measurement
- For irregular shapes, break them down into basic shapes and add the volumes
- Double-check your measurements before calculating
- Round measurements to appropriate decimal places for your needs
- Consider adding a small margin (1-5%) for practical applications
