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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
