How to Use Volume & 3D Surface Area Calculator
- Select 3D Shape: Choose Cube, Cylinder, Sphere, Cone, or Rectangular Prism.
- Input Dimension: Enter radius, height, length, or width.
- Press Calculate: Immediately get the volume in liters, gallons, cubic meters ($m^3$), and cubic feet ($ft^3$).
Explanation & How It Works
Volume measures the amount of three-dimensional space that is contained within a closed surface. Important for calculating the capacity of water tanks, concrete volumes, freight, and chemicals.
Calculation Formula & Rules
Sphere: V = (4/3) × π × r³
Cylinder: V = π × r² × h
Cone: V = (1/3) × π × r² × h
Rectangular Box: V = length × width × height
Example Calculation
Example: A water cylinder has radius 1 m and height 2 m.
- Formula:
π × r² × h. 3.14159 × 1² × 2 = 6.283 m³.- Convert to liters ($1 m^3 = 1000 L$): 6,283 Liters.
Liquid Volume Conversion Equivalents
- 1 Cubic Meter ($m^3$) = 1,000 Liters = 264.17 US Gallons
- 1 Liter = 1,000 Milliliters = 0.264 Gallons
