what is the formula to finding volume of a shape
Solution
The formula to find the volume of a shape depends on the type of shape you're dealing with. Here are some common formulas for different 3D shapes:
-
Cube: where is the length of a side.
-
Rectangular Prism (or Cuboid): where is the length, is the width, and is the height.
-
Cylinder: where is the radius of the base, and is the height.
-
Sphere: where is the radius of the sphere.
-
Cone: where is the radius of the base, and is the height.
-
Pyramid: where is the height of the pyramid, and the Base Area depends on the shape of the base (e.g., square, rectangle, triangle).
