- Box = l × w × h · cylinder = π r² h · sphere = 4/3 π r³ · cone = ⅓ π r² h · pyramid = ⅓ l w h.
Good to know: 1,000 cm³ is 1 litre.
About this tool
Cubic volume for five common 3-D shapes — box, cylinder, sphere, cone and rectangular pyramid — in centimetres, metres, inches or feet.
Formula
box = l·w·h; cylinder = πr²h; sphere = (4/3)πr³; cone = (1/3)πr²h; pyramid = (l·w·h)/3.
Reference values
- 1,000 cm³ = 1 litre
- 1 m³ = 1,000 litres
- 1 ft³ ≈ 28.32 litres
Questions people ask
How do I find the volume of a box?
Length × width × height.
What is the volume formula for a cylinder?
π × radius² × height.
Is volume the same as capacity?
For a hollow container, capacity is the volume of the inside space. Wall thickness makes outside volume larger.
