Best Answer
height by length by width
G HxLxW for a box H x pi x R squared for a cylinder 4/3 x pi x R cubed for a sphere 2/3 x pi x R squared x H for a cone
Specify...volume of what?


Quoted from NASA:


"The volume V of a sphere is equal to pi (3.14159) times the diameter d cubed divided by six;
V = pi * d^3 / 6
Since the diameter is twice the radius r of the sphere, this equation can also be written as:
V = pi * 4 * r^3 / 3
For a circular cylinder, we need to know the length h of the cylinder and the diameter d of the circular cross section. Then the equation for the volume is pi times the diameter squared times the length divided by four;
V = pi * d^2 * h / 4
For a rectangular prism with dimensions a, b, and h the volume is the product of the three lengths;
V = a * b * h
A cube is a special case of a rectangular prism in which all the sides are equal to a. The volume equation then becomes;
V = a^3"
You really need to specify the shape.
Here's a few that come to mind

Cube = length cubed
Box in general = length x width x height
Sphere = 4/3 pi r^3
cylinder = pi r^2 h
