Basically, it's area times height, but because the formula to calculate area is different for different shapes, the formula for volume changes with the shape. length times width times height. L x W x H One can use calculus to find the volume of a solid. Take the triple integral of the functions that define the solid in each direction. also in physics when density and mass are given, then the volume can be calculated as volume=mass/density
The formula for calculating the volume of a container varies with the shape of the container. Simple shapes can be calculated very easily such as cubes, prisms, or cylinders. Complicated or asymmetrical shapes would require the use of integral calculus.
