The volume of a solid (whether regularly or irregularly shaped) can be determined by fluid displacement. Displacement of liquid can also be used to determine the volume of a gas. The combined volume of two substances is usually greater than the volume of just one of the substances. However, sometimes one substance dissolves in the other and in such cases the combined volume is not additive.
V=1/3*pi(R1squared +R1*R2+R2squared)h R1=radius of the cylinders top R2=radius of the cylinders bottom h=hieght of the cylinder v=volume pi= 3.14 or the pi function on your calc
Volume of a cylinder in cubic units = pi*radius2*height.
Of course not . . . if they were different, the "cylinder" would be a truncated cone.
Bi-truncated conic section, or doubly-truncated conic section
calculate the overall volume as if the prism wasn't truncated and did form a central peak (v = 1/2*b*h*l), then calculate the volume of the prism above the truncation. Then deduct this from the overall volume.

Some examples of solids are cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid, prism, tetrahedron, dodecahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, torus, cuboid, rhombic dodecahedron, ellipsoid, oloid, trapezohedron, truncated cone, truncated cuboctahedron, truncated dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron.
Trying to figure this out too...
Volume in cubic units = base area times length
A hollow truncated cone is a geometric shape that is cone-shaped. The formula to calculate the volume is s^2=h^2 + (R-r)^2.
The capacity of a cylinder is its volume which is the area of an end times the cylinder's length (height). If the cylinder has radius r and length h, its volume (capacity) is: {pi}r2h
A circle, ellipse, truncated ellipse or rectangle - depending on the inclination of the cross section relative to the cylinder.
