Formulae for Volume

Cube = a 3

Rectangular prism = a b c

Irregular prism = b h

Cylinder = b h = pi r 2 h

Pyramid = (1/3) b h

Cone = (1/3) b h = 1/3 pi r 2 h

Sphere = (4/3) pi r 3


Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a2" means "a squared", which is the same as "a" times "a". "b3" means "b cubed", which is the same as "b" times "b" times "b". Oh, and be careful! Units count. Use the same units for all measurements.
