DEFINITION OF VOLUME
The volume of a solid is the measure of how much space an object takes up. It is
measured by the number of cubic units it takes to fill up the solid.

CUBE
Since we know all sides or edges of a cube are equal in length, then a cube’s
volume is equal to any side, or edge cubed.

Volume of a Cube = s3

RECTANGULAR PRISM
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to the product of base area (length
times width) and the height of the prism:

Volume of a Rectangular Prism = l x w x h

CYLINDER
The volume of a cylinder is equal to the area of its circular base and a cylinder’s
height.

Volume of a Cylinder = π x r² x h

PYRAMID
The volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of its base area and its
height.

Volume of a Pyramid = 1/3 x b x h

SPHERE
For a sphere, the volume is given as:

Volume of a Sphere = 4/3 x π x r³

CONE
Since a cone is a pyramid, whose base is circular, therefore, the volume of a cone
is:

Volume of a Cone = 1/3 x π x r² x h
