Volume is the amount of 3-dimensional space an object occupies. It is typically measured in cubic units (like cubic meters, cubic feet, or liters).

How is cylinder volume calculated?

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as V = πr²h, where "r" is the radius of the base and "h" is the height.

Can I use this for liquid capacity?

Yes! Volume converts directly to liquid capacity. For example, 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters. This is useful for calculating tank or pool capacities.

What if I only have the diameter?

If you have the diameter, simply divide it by 2 to get the radius, which is the value required for most volume formulas involving circles (like cylinders and spheres).

what is Volume Calculator

We live in a three-dimensional world, and understanding volume is key to navigating it. Volume measures the amount of space an object occupies. Whether you are shipping a package, filling a swimming pool, or pouring concrete for a driveway, our Volume Calculator helps you determine exactly how much space you are working with.

To use the tool, select the 3D shape you are measuring: Cube, Cylinder, or Sphere. Then, input the required dimensions. For a cube, you need the side length. For a cylinder, the radius and height. For a sphere, just the radius. The calculator instantly computes the volume using precise geometric formulas (s³ for cubes, πr²h for cylinders, and 4/3πr³ for spheres).

This tool is incredibly useful for logistics and shipping. Knowing the volume of your boxes helps in estimating shipping costs and storage requirements. It's also essential for science students calculating density or displacement.

For home projects, it can save you money. Calculating the volume of a planter box ensures you buy the right amount of soil. Determining the volume of your aquarium helps you treat the water correctly.

Our calculator handles the complex math, including the value of Pi, so you don't have to. It provides results in cubic units, which you can easily convert to liters or gallons if you are measuring liquid capacity.
