How the Volume Calculator works
Choose a solid and enter its measurements in one unit to get its volume (in that unit cubed) and its surface area (in that unit squared).
Formulas
Prisms and cylinders
box l × w × h; cylinder πr²h; triangular prism ½ × base × height × length
Pointed shapes
cone ⅓πr²h; square pyramid ⅓ × side² × h
Spheres
sphere ⁴⁄₃πr³ (surface 4πr²); hemisphere ⅔πr³ (surface 3πr²)
Examples
A sphere and a cone
A sphere of radius 3 holds about 113.0973. A cone of radius 3 and height 4 has a surface of about 75.3982 (its slant is 5).
Frequently asked questions
How do I get litres?
Measure in cm: 1,000 cm³ is 1 litre. Or convert with the Volume Converter.
Why is the prism's surface area missing?
It depends on all three sides of the triangle, not just its base and height.
Does the surface area include the base?
Yes — every face, including the bases of cylinders, cones and pyramids.
