There isn't a single formula for solids of different shapes. For a right solid with a rectangular base, volume is base area x height. Similarly for cylinder with a circular base, volume = base area x height (base area in this case is Pi x radius2). For a sphere, volume = 4/3 x Pi x radius3.

Well, it really depends on what kind of object. In general for objects that are the same width, height, and length throughout the formula is: Area of the base * height.

However, cones, spheres, and pyramids do not fit this description and use unique formulas:

Sphere: 4/3(pi)(radius)^3

Cone & pyramid: 1/3(Area of base)(height)

Volume is the amount of space a solid takes up. It is like the area of a polygon, but extends in 3 dimensions while a regular solid is a three dimensional figure where all of the faces are a regular geometric figure, like a cube whose faces are all squares.

Depends on the shape. Different formulae for different shapes.

There are a number of regular solids each with a different shape. The simplest is a cube, which has a volume equal to the length of one edge cubed.
