What are the common mathematical formulas for volume?
For many geometric figures, the formula for volume is simply: “base area times height,” or some fraction thereof. Base area is represented by the capital letter “B.” The height of an object is a line perpendicular to the base, equal to the distance from the vertex (highest point) to the base. “Volume” is the space within a three-dimensional object and is expressed in cubic units, such as cubic inches. (Note: pi, represented by the symbol “Π,” equals approximately 3.14.) Volume of a cylinder (with circular base): Volume = pi times the square of the radius of the base times the height Since pi times the square of the radius is equal to the area of the base of the cylinder, this formula can also be written as: Volume of a cube: Volume = the length of one side cubed It’s also possible to calculate…
