Each solid has its own volume formula (the space it occupies). Pick the solid and enter the dimensions:
A sphere with radius 5: V = (4/3) × π × 125 ≈ 523.6. A cylinder with radius 5 and height 10: V ≈ 785.4.
Cube volume = side³ (side × side × side). Surface area = 6 × side². For side 5: volume = 125, surface = 150.
Volume = length × width × height. Surface area = 2 × (lw + lh + wh). For 5 × 4 × 3: volume = 60.
Sphere volume = (4/3) × π × radius³. Surface area = 4 × π × radius². For radius 5: volume ≈ 523.6.
Cylinder volume = π × radius² × height. For radius 5 and height 10: volume ≈ 785.4.
Cone volume = (1/3) × π × radius² × height, i.e. one third of the cylinder with the same dimensions.
Pyramid volume = (1/3) × base area × height. For a square base of side a: (1/3) × a² × height.
It is the sum of the areas of all a solid’s faces, in square units (m²), unlike volume which is in cubic units (m³).
In cubic units (mm³, cm³, m³) or in liters. 1 m³ = 1000 liters, and 1 liter = 1000 cm³.
Volume is the space a solid occupies; capacity is how much liquid a container can hold. Both can be expressed in liters or m³.
