How to calculate the volume of solids


Volume is the space occupied by a given object. The volume is measured in cubic units. For example, we can say that a cube is 64 cubic cm. The basic unit of volume is the cubic meter. There is equivalence between the volume of an object and its capacity. The simplest method used to equate volume capacity is 1 cubic decimeter = 1 liter. 


To calculate the volume of an object, you must use three dimensions: length, width and height. To help you study maths, here you can know the formulas for calculating the volume of various geometric solids. Just click in the following links:

How to find the volume of a parallelepiped

The volume of a parallelepiped is the space that the parallelepiped occupies. To help you study maths, we'll explain how to find the volume of a parallelepiped. 




To calculate the volume of the parallelepiped, you'll need to know the length and width of the base and the height of the solid. Thus, the volume of a parallelepiped is the product of the base area with the height of the solid. Then:


w – widht
l – lenght
h - height


We hope that this article was helpfull to you learn how to find the volume of a parallelepiped, and to you study maths.
