How to work out a volume
- Choose the shape and the unit you measured in.
- Enter the sizes.
- Read the volume, and pick the unit to show it in.
Shapes
- Cube, box (a rectangular tank or room), cylinder (a round tank), sphere, hemisphere, cone, truncated cone (a bucket), pyramid, triangular prism and capsule.
- The surface area is shown too, where it can be worked out from the sizes.
- For a tank, measure the inside: the walls take up space.
Units
- Cubic centimetres (millilitres), litres, cubic metres, cubic inches, feet and yards, US and UK gallons and US fluid ounces.
- 1 cubic metre is 1,000 litres; 1 cubic foot is about 28.3 litres.
