It depends on the shape of the container. For example: the volume of a container that is shaped like a cube (or a cuboid) would be calculated by simply multiplying the length, width, and height of the container together. For a cylinder, you would use the formula: pi × radius^2 × height.

What is the volume formula for liquid?

Depending on the shape of the container for the liquid, you can find the volume different ways.

The answer you would get from these equations is expressed in units cubed (example: cm3).
