Volume of Cube

[image]

V = s³ 

V = side x side x side

Cube the length of one side of the cube.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism

[image]

V = l x w x h

V = length x width x height

Multiply the length of the base by the width of the base, then multiply this new value by the height of the prism.

Volume of a Circular Prism

[image]

V = πr²h

V = π x radius x radius x height

Multiply pi by the radius squared by the height of the prism.

Volume of a Sphere

[image]

V = 4/3πr³

V = (4/3) x π x radius x radius x radius

Multiply 4/3 by pi by the radius cubed.

Volume of a Square Pyramid

[image]

V = 1/3s²h

V = (1/3) x side x side x height

Multiply 1/3 by the square of the side of the base by the height.

Volume of a Cone

[image]

V = 1/3πr²h

V = (1/3) x π x radius x radius x height

Multiply 1/3 by pi by the radius squared by the height of the cone.

Volume of any Prism

[image]

V = Bh

V = (area of the base) x height

Find the area of the base and multiply it by the height of the prism.

Volume of any Pyramid

[image]

V = 1/3Bh

V = (1/3) x (area of the base)  height

Multiply 1/3 by the area of the base by the height of the pyramid.

Volume

The amount of three-dimensional space, measured in cubic units, that an object or substance occupies.
