1. What is Volume of 3D Figures?

Definition: Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.

Purpose: Calculating volume is essential in fields like construction, manufacturing, and science for determining capacity, material requirements, and spatial relationships.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses different formulas based on shape:

Where:

• \( V \) — Volume (cubic units)
• \( L \) — Length (units)
• \( W \) — Width (units)
• \( H \) — Height (units)
• \( r \) — Radius (units)
• \( h \) — Height (units)

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Accurate volume calculations ensure proper material estimation, space planning, and cost control in various applications from construction to packaging.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select the shape, enter the required dimensions (all must be > 0), and click Calculate. The calculator handles both rectangular and cylindrical shapes.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What units should I use?
A: Use consistent units (e.g., all in feet or all in meters). The result will be in cubic units of your input.

Q2: Can I calculate volume for other shapes?
A: This calculator currently supports rectangular and cylindrical shapes. Other shapes may be added in future updates.

Q3: How precise are the calculations?
A: Calculations are precise to 3 decimal places. π is approximated to 3.14159265359.

Q4: Does this account for irregular shapes?
A: No, these formulas are for regular geometric shapes. Irregular shapes require different approaches.

Q5: Can I calculate in both metric and imperial units?
A: Yes, as long as all inputs for a calculation use the same unit system.
