Volume Formulas

Cube: V = sÂ³

Sphere: V = (4/3)Ï€rÂ³

Cylinder: V = Ï€rÂ²h

Cone: V = (1/3)Ï€rÂ²h

Rectangular: V = lÃ—wÃ—h

Pyramid: V = (1/3)Bh

Common Volumes

Dice (1cm cube) 1 cmÂ³

Tennis Ball ~148 cmÂ³

Basketball ~7,240 cmÂ³

1 Liter 1,000 cmÂ³

1 Gallon (US) 3,785 cmÂ³

Volume Units

1 mÂ³ = 1,000,000 cmÂ³

1 mÂ³ = 1,000 liters

1 ftÂ³ = 28.32 liters

1 gallon = 3.785 liters

1 liter = 1,000 cmÂ³

Understanding Volume

Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object. It's measured in cubic units such as cubic meters (mÂ³), cubic centimeters (cmÂ³), or liters.

Key Concepts

Volume is always measured in cubic units
Different shapes have different volume formulas
Volume can be calculated or measured by displacement
1 liter = 1,000 cubic centimeters
