Measuring the Volume of a Cube or Cuboid
|
- Cube
A cube is a solid contained by 6 equal squares
- Cuboid
A cuboid is a solid with 6 rectangular faces; Cube like.
|

|
The volume of a cube or cuboid can be determined by multiplying the breadth by the height by the length (b X h X l) therefore, the equation is;
V=bhl

|
Measuring the Volume of a Prism
|
- Prism
A prism is a solid figure whose two ends are equal, parallel rectilinear figures and whose sides are parallelograms
|
|
To measure to volume of a prism multiply the breadth by length of the base: Multiply the total by the height of the prism and divide the result by 2.

|
Measuring the Volume of a Pyramid
|
- Pyramid
A solid with a base of four sides and sloping sides meeting at the apex.
|
|
Multiply the breadth of the base by its length then multiply the result by the perpendicular height from base to apex and divide the result by three.
|
|
|
Measuring the Volume of a Cone
|
- Cone
A cone is a solid having a circular base and at the apex a point and every point along its height is a straight line.
|
|
Multiply the radius by itself and then multiply the result by Pi (3.1416). Divide the result by three.

|
Measuring the Volume of a Cylinder
|
- Cylinder
A solid generated by straight line moving parallel to itself and describing with its ends any fixed curve.
|
|
Multiply the radius of the base by itself then the result by Pi (3.1416). Multiply this result by the length of the cylinder.

Measuring the Volume of a Sphere
|
- Sphere
A body or space bounded by surface every point of which is equidistant from a point within called the centre
