Stacking layers
Many volume formulas multiply the area of a base by height, like stacking equal layers upward.

Multi-Shape Volume Calculator
Choose a 3D shape, enter its measurements, and see the volume formula, diagram, cubic units, and step-by-step solution.
What does volume mean? Volume tells how much 3D space a solid object takes up. If length is measured in cm, volume is measured in cubic centimeters, written as cm³.
Input fields change automatically for the selected shape.

How to think about volume
Cubic units
A volume of 125 cm³ means the shape takes up the same space as 125 tiny cubes that are 1 cm on each side.
Curved shapes
Cylinders, cones, and spheres use pi because circles are part of their geometry.
