How the Calculator Works
This calculator uses the following formulas to compute the volume of different solids:
- Cube: Volume = side3
- Cuboid: Volume = length × width × height
- Cylinder: Volume = π × radius2 × height
- Sphere: Volume = (4/3) × π × radius3
- Cone: Volume = (1/3) × π × radius2 × height
- Pyramid: Volume = (1/3) × base length × base width × height
Limitations
Please note the following limitations of this calculator:
- All inputs must be positive numbers. Negative inputs will result in incorrect calculations.
- Floating-point arithmetic might cause minor precision errors.
- The calculator assumes the input dimensions are in consistent units, so make sure you input dimensions in the same unit system.
