How to Find the Volume of Basic Shapes - In geometry, we need to figure out the volume, surface area, and perimeter of the shapes. There are a number of shapes in geometry; each shape has a specific formula for perimeter, surface area, and volume. We should follow those formulae to find out the specific measurement of the shape. Here we are going to discuss the formulae of finding the volume of some of the geometric shapes. Volume of the Sphere - A sphere is a three-dimensional shape. To find out the surface area or volume of the sphere, we need to know the radius of the sphere. The radius of the sphere is the distance from the center to the edge of the sphere. The radius remains the same no matter from which point on a sphere is considered. Once we know the radius, we use the following formula to find out the volume of the sphere. Volume = 4/3 πr². Volume of the Cone - A cone is defined as the pyramid that features a circular base with sloping sides, all meeting at the central point. For calculating the volume of the cone, we need to know the radius of length and base of the side. Volume = 1/3 π²h. Volume of the Cylinder - A cylinder is a shape that features a circular base and parallel sides. For calculating the volume of the cylinder, we need to know the height and radius of the cylinder. Volume = πr²h.
