Introduction to Volume of Solid Figures
Volume measures the amount of space inside a solid figure and is expressed in cubic units (e.g., cubic cm, cubic m).
Understanding Volume Relationships
- Cone and Cylinder: It takes exactly three cones to fill a cylinder of the same radius and height.
- Sphere and Cylinder: A sphere occupies 2/3 of the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height.
- Pyramid and Prism: It takes three pyramids to fill a prism with the same base and height. For more details, see Understanding Similar Figures and Triangles: A Comprehensive Guide.
Volume Formulas
Cylinder
- Formula: ( V = \pi r^2 h )
- Where ( r ) is radius, ( h ) is height, and ( \pi \approx 3.14 )
Cone
- Formula: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h )
- Volume is one-third that of a cylinder with the same base and height. This relationship is explored in Calculating Arc Length, Triangle, and Sector Areas with Theta.
Pyramid
- Formula: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times h )
- For rectangular base: Base Area = length ( \times ) width
Sphere
- Formula: ( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 )
Sample Problem Solutions
1. Volume of a Cone Hat
- Diameter: 5 cm; Height: 10 cm
- Radius: 2.5 cm
- Calculation: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 2.5^2 \times 10 = 65.42 ) cubic cm
2. Volume of a Cylindrical Candle
- Diameter: 12 cm; Height: 18 cm
- Radius: 6 cm
- Calculation: ( V = 3.14 \times 6^2 \times 18 = 2,034.72 ) cubic cm
3. Volume of a Rectangular Base Pyramid (Glass Keychain)
- Base: 3 cm by 4.5 cm; Height: 6 cm
- Base Area: 13.5 cm2
- Calculation: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times 13.5 \times 6 = 27 ) cubic cm
4. Volume of a Sphere
- Radius: 8 cm
- Calculation: ( V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8^3 = 2,143.57 ) cubic cm
Additional Practice Problems
- Calculate volume for cylinders, cones, pyramids, and spheres with given dimensions
- Use ( \pi = 3.14 ) and express answers in cubic units. For more on related problem-solving methods, review Solving Varying Angle Problems Using Sine and Cosine Laws.
Key Points to Remember
- Volume units are always cubic (e.g., cubic meters, cubic inches)
- Use the proper formula depending on the solid figure
- Convert diameter to radius by dividing by 2 when needed
- Multiply radius by itself (square) for cylinder and cone base area calculations
- Multiply radius by itself three times (cube) for sphere volume calculations
Mastering these concepts will enable you to confidently find volumes for a variety of solid figures and solve both routine and non-routine math problems effectively. To strengthen your measurement accuracy, consider reading Understanding Significant Figures in Measurements.

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, use the formula V = π × r² × h, where r is the radius of the circular base, and h is the height of the cylinder. Make sure to convert the diameter to radius by dividing by 2 if only diameter is given. Multiply the radius by itself, then multiply by height and π (approximately 3.14) to get the volume in cubic units.
A cone has exactly one-third the volume of a cylinder with the same radius and height. This means you can fill a cylinder completely with the volume equivalent to three identical cones stacked together, which is why the cone volume formula is V = (1/3) × π × r² × h.
To find the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base, first calculate the base area by multiplying the length by the width of the base. Then, use the formula V = (1/3) × Base Area × height, where height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex of the pyramid. This formula gives you the volume in cubic units.
The volume of a sphere is calculated using the formula V = (4/3) × π × r³, where r is the radius of the sphere. This formula represents the total space inside the sphere by considering the radius cubed (multiplying the radius by itself three times) multiplied by 4/3 and π (approximately 3.14).
Volume measures three-dimensional space, so it is expressed in cubic units such as cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³). To ensure accuracy, always use the correct units for each measurement, convert diameters to radii when necessary, and apply the appropriate formulas carefully. Remember to square or cube radius values depending on the shape to match the volume formula requirements.
Diameter is the full length across a circle, while radius is half that length from the center to the edge. Since volume formulas for cylinders, cones, and spheres use radius (r), you must convert diameter to radius by dividing the diameter by 2. Using the correct radius ensures accurate base area and volume calculations for these shapes.
Knowing volume relationships, like three cones filling one cylinder or a sphere occupying two-thirds the volume of a cylinder with the same dimensions, helps visualize and solve practical problems efficiently. These relationships simplify complex calculations and aid in estimating capacities, materials needed, or spatial planning in fields like engineering, packaging, and manufacturing.
