There is a different formula for every regular shape There is no formula for the irregular, odd-ball shapes.

Examples of equations for more common shapes are:

  • For cubes and similar shapes: HxLxW = volume (Volume = height x length x width)
  • For cylinders: V= Ï€r2L (pi x radius squared x height)
  • For spheres: V= 4/3 Ï€ r3
  • For pyramids: Area of Base x 1/3 height
  • Rectangular prisms: Area of Base x height

It depends on the product of the measurements of the height, width, and length of the shape.

(lenght times width times height)
Base x height x width = volume (which is cubed [ex:23cm3])
Height times length times width is the formula for an object such as a box with rectangular sides,

However, there are different formulas for differently shaped objects, such as spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, etc. You need to specify the object whose volume you are trying to calculate.
length X width X height
