Determination of volume Using a Mathematical Formula
1. The volume of a solid with a geometric shape can be calculated using mathematical formulas.
2. Use the following formulas to calculate the volume of a solid.
a. Volume of a cube or rectangle:
volume (cm3) = width (cm) x length (cm) x height (cm)
b. Volume of a sphere:
volume (cm3) = 4.2 x radius (cm) x radius (cm) x radius (cm)
c. Volume of a cylinder:
volume (cm3) = 3.14 x radius (cm) x radius (cm) x height (cm)
