Calculating volume is done by multiplying the base area by the height. First you have to make sure all your units are the same, like all Centimeters or all Inches. As an example, suppose I am calculating the volume of a rectangular solid whose edges are 3, 4, and 8 centimeters. First I would multiply 3 by 4, and get 12 square centimeters. Then I would multiply 12 by 8, and get 96 cubic centimeters. The volume is 96 cubic centimeters. If it is a cone you are calculating, then the answer would be one third of the base times the height.

What is the formula for calculating volume of liquid?
The formula for calculating the volume of fluid to the fluid container in which it is located. For example. If the container is cylindrical. Area x height = volume of liquid
Why do engineers use calculus?
There are lots of applications of calculus; for example: calculating maxima and minima, analyzing the shape of curves, calculating acceleration when you know the velocity, calculating velocity when you know the acceleration; calculating the area of figures; calculating the volume of 3D shapes; etc.
What the formula for calculating volume?
Volume = area X height
What is the formula for calculating the volume of a rectanglular prism?
The formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular prism is: Length x width x height Example, if length=2cm, width=4cm, and height is 2cm your answer would be: 2 x 4 x 2 = 16 cm3
What is the better formula to use in calculating volume in irregular object?
Break the object into parts that a block or a cylinder has. For example, if you are finding the volume of a doughnut, you will measure the surface of it and subtract the measurements of the hole.
